CONSIDER NATIONAL INTEREST

Because of the government's adamant approach, we may lose a veteran financial expert like Urjit Patel as sources say that he is going to resign at the Central bank's next board meeting on November 19. The government and the RBI have been fighting for weeks over how much autonomy the RBI should have as the administration of Narendra Modi seeks to reduce curbs on lending and to gain access to the RBI'S surplus reserves, which is disastrous. The government must resolve this. Otherwise, our already derailing economy will fall in a deep trench and decades may not be enough to control and bring back our financial status. They should end this clash as soon as possible in the noble interest of the nation. MOHD ISMAIL Via email
