Microsoft CEO Nadella voices concern over CAA

TIL Desk/National/New York/ Microsoft’s Indian-origin CEO Satya Nadella voiced concern over the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act, saying what is happening is “sad” and he would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant create the next unicorn in India. 

His comments came while speaking to editors at a Microsoft event in Manhattan where he was asked about the contentious issue of CAA which grants citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

“I think what is happening is sad… It’s just bad…. I would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant who comes to India and creates the next unicorn in India or becomes the next CEO of Infosys,” Nadella was quoted as saying by Ben Smith.

In a statement issued by Microsoft India, Nadella said: “Every country will and should define its borders, protect national security and set immigration policy accordingly. And in democracies, that is something that the people and their governments will debate and define within those bounds.
