Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, executive chairperson of Biocon, has urged Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to resolve the ‘growing religious divide’ in the State. She warned that allowing any ‘communal exclusion’‘ would destroy the State’s position in the global leadership in the technology and biotech sectors.
Posting a media report over Muslims shopkeepers being barred from temple fairs, Mazumdar-Shaw tweeted: “Karnataka has always forged inclusive economic development and we must not allow such communal exclusion. If IT/BT became communal it would destroy our global leadership. Please resolve this growing religious divide.”
She tagged Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in the tweet.
