In the absence of an eligible Sikh candidate to head Punjab & Sind Bank after its current chairman and managing director GS Vedi retires on June 30 this year, the government might consider appointing a Sikh IAS officer for the top job.
Days after the ministry of finance wrote a letter to the Prime Minister’s office seeking its approval for appointing a non-Sikh as the head of the public sector bank, Tarlochan Singh, ex-chairman, National Commission for Minorities and currently a member of the Parliament, wrote to the finance minister suggesting that such a decision would hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community.
“I’ve spoken with the finance minister on this and also written a letter. He has agreed to consider appointing a Sikh civil servant to run the bank until the government is able to zero in on an eligible Sikh banker for the job. There are a lot of candidates who will match the eligibility criteria for the top job in a few years,” said Singh.
