Uddhav Shiv Sena Slams Modi Govt’s Privatisation Policy

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Thursday slammed the privatisation policy of the Narendra Modi government and accused it “auctioning” democracy, freedom of speech, social harmony and the rule of law.

If this wasn’t enough, the government was also planning to privatise some public sector banks, claimed an editorial in ‘Saamana’, the mouthpiece of the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.

Referring to reports in a section of media about a committee being set up to review privatisation of banks, the Marathi daily said even if the entire issue is still in process, it is “confirmed” that some banks will be privatised.
