The divestment of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) by the government will not cause any problems for the company’s employees, chairman MR Kumar told NDTV on Friday. There will be a reaction by the staff but the company will talk to them, said the LIC chairman, assuring that the proposed stake sale will not lead to its privatisation of the insurer. In the Union Budget for 2020-21, the government proposed to divest a part of its stake in LIC in a move that could result in the partial listing of the country’s largest insurance company, which led to protests by the staff who said the move is against national interest.
