J&K Bank exploited to fill coffers of those who swear by ‘autonomy’ for state: Jitendra

Jammu, Nov 24 (UNI) Lauding Governor Satya Pal Malik's decision to bring the J&K Bank under the purview of RTI Act, Chief Vigilance Commissioner and State legislature, and to categorize it as a PSU, Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Saturday alleged that the autonomy of the Bank was exploited to fill the coffers of precisely those who otherwise swear by "autonomy" for the State.
He also alleged that over the years, the Bank had been blatantly "misused" by the State's ruling families and their close henchmen.
He hailed the Governor's decision as the one in tune with the Modi Government's commitment for maximum transparency in the functioning of such institutions.
