#SatyaNadella: Microsoft CEO told CAA — ‘Sad and bad’
Microsoft’s chief executive officer Satya Nadella has described the protests against the (CAA) citizenship amendment law across the country as bad and tragic.
Nadella is the first head of any technology company that has criticized India’s citizenship amendment law. Satya Nadella told Buzzfeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith at a Microsoft event in Manhattan on Monday, “As far as I understand this is sad, bad.” Read More
Ben Smith made a tweet about this and according to this Satya Nadella has also said, “I would love to see if a Bangladeshi migrant comes to India to establish the next unicorn or becomes the next CEO of Infosys.”
Satya Nadella is originally from the Indian city of Hyderabad. He also told Ben Smith about his multicultural roots. He said, “I grew up in the city of Hyderabad, I am proud of the cultural heritage that I got from there. Read More
I have always felt that since childhood it is a wonderful city to understand things. We celebrate Eid We were celebrating Christmas and Diwali too — these three festivals were big festivals for us. “
Shortly after Ben Smith tweeted Nadella’s statement, Microsoft released a statement on behalf of Nadella. In this, he has said that any country should make a migrant policy according to its boundaries and its national security. In a democracy, this is the matter that should be decided by mutual dialogue between the government and its citizens.
In his statement, he said, “I am made with Indian heritage. I grew up in a diverse culture and then lived in America. My hope for India is that someone from outside will start a great start-up Or to lead a multinational corporation. It will benefit Indian society and economy. “
His statement has also spread rapidly on social media. Famous historian Ramachandra Guha tweeted on his statement, “I am happy with what Nadella has said. I wish that the heads of our own Indian IT companies would have shown such courage and intelligence. They can still do it.” “
Ramchandra Guha was taken into custody by the Karnataka Police last month while opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act. At the same time, journalist Sadanand Dhume, an Indian-origin writer associated with American Enterprises Institute (a public policy research institute) tweeted, “Satya Nadella spoke on this topic, it has surprised me but I am not surprised at this point.
That they have opposed the citizenship amendment law. A successful company like Microsoft has been based on the principle of seeing every person as equal. “
NDV-promoter Prannoy Roy also tweeted, “When a great Indian is speaking, we should all listen with caution. We are all proud of Satya Nadella — he is an amazing global leader with compassion.”
However, former Infosys director Mohan Das Pai has described Satya Nadella’s statement as confusing. He has advised Satya Nadella to read the citizenship amendment law and said that the law should be read before commenting.
