A war of words erupted between Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over public sector banks (PSB) in the country.

While Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led Centre of using PSBs as an unlimited source of funds for "fraudulent friends", Sitharaman hit out at the MP saying the Congress-led UPA regime treated public banks as "ATMs for their cronies and shady businessmen".

On Wednesday, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha said that he met a delegation from the All India Banking Officers Confederation earlier in the day, "who expressed their distress at the state of our public sector banks and the impact of it on common people".
