The All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (AIBOC) has shared a joint press release issued by seven major bank employees’ and officers’ organisations. The organisations include AIBOC, AIBEA, NCBE, AIBOA, BEFI, INBOC, and INBEF. The press release expresses concern over the reported police action and lathi charge on students who were holding a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar on 20 July 2026. The circular has been sent to all affiliated units for information and wider circulation.
Concern Over Police Action
According to the joint statement, the seven banking organisations believe that the situation could have been handled with greater sensitivity and dialogue. They said that students are the future of the nation and that their concerns should be heard with empathy, mutual respect, and democratic engagement instead of the use of force.
Demand for Dialogue
The organisations have urged the Central Government and all concerned authorities to immediately start meaningful discussions with the protesting students. They requested the government to take constructive steps to address the students’ genuine concerns in a peaceful and friendly manner.
Appeal for Democratic Rights
The posters included in the press release carry messages such as “Dialogue, Not Force” and “Students are the Future of Our Nation.” They call for respect for democratic rights, protection of peaceful protests, and immediate dialogue between the government and students. The organisations have appealed for peaceful resolution of the issues through discussion rather than confrontation.
