NEW DELHI: (May 11) India has done the right thing to punish Pakistan-based terrorists who killed innocent citizens and the industry stands firmly behind the government, committed to doing what is required to ensure that the country’s economic progress sustains, according to CII President Sanjiv Puri.
The military conflict between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the killing of 26 people in Pahalgam last month is a moment to “rededicate ourselves and re-energise ourselves towards nation building”, including enhancing India’s defence manufacturing capabilities and capacities, Puri told PTI in an interview.
“What the government is doing is absolutely the right thing to do. The idea is really aligned to what the government has always said ‘to punish those responsible for terrorism’ and nothing can justify killing of innocent citizens. So those people responsible must be punished,” Puri, who is also the MD of ITC, said.
