PMC Bank Customers Confront Nirmala Sitharaman At Mumbai BJP Office

PMC Bank customers staged a protest outside the BJP party office at Nariman Point in Mumbai where Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was addressing a press conference. While she was addressing the press conference, the protestors started raising slogans outside the office who looked furious and angry with the way their money has been handled by the bank and the Government's silence on the matter.

The protesters have requested Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to help them get their money back. Account-holders say that they have no idea what the RBI or the court is doing. The police used force to control the mob and sent the protesters back from the BJP headquarters.
