Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Oct 8: In a letter to Lt. Governor J&K Union Territory, Manoj Sinha , former minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz has sought his intervention to ask the J&K Bank to reveal full details of the bad debts created by the Bank, over a period of years, for information of the general public.
“I explained to the Lt Governor that it is a story of the Bank creating an impression of its being healthy and safe which is true only because of honest depositors, not because of any special efforts of the Bank, in this connection.The fact of the matter was that the bad debts have been accumulating while the Bank does not take any effective measures to solve the menace of bad debts. The directors are, as usual, happy with the meetings that are a routine,” Soz added.
“In this connection, I remind the gullible section of the depositors that we had come to know about the loss caused to the Bank through cheating by Nirav Modi and Choksi, through the media, not through any effort by the Bank. So, the Bank, as a Public Institution, must bring all details in respect of bad debts to the notice of the public, immediately,” Soz claimed.
