The All-India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA), a leading representative body of bank employees, on Friday demanded a thorough enquiry into the affairs of Jet Airways and the reasons behind the airline getting grounded.
In a letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AIBEA General Secretary CH Venkatachalam emphasised that the wrongdoers who brought down Jet Airways should be punished.
“The attempts to sidetrack the whole issue by building pressure on banks to extend further loan and save the company is only with a view to keep Naresh Goyal out of the picture, whereas he is the real man who is answerable for the whole crisis,” said Venkatachalam.
The government should intervene immediately so that banks are not pressurised to dole out further loans, he said.
