Good morning friends. I agree with the government of Mumbai that they will not stop. There’s always been a hope to everyone and with everything. As some others said…when ever you fell down, all you have to do is just stand up and always see the future for the brighter side
Mumbai may be under siege, but the fabled Mumbai spirit will be back in full play when the dark night dissipates and the morning dawns. After all, Mumbai, a city in incessant movement, cannot stop, inherently.
The stock, money and commodity markets will probably be up in the morning. The chief minister has already left instructions to the effect. Offices and banks will be buzzing again. And after a gap, everything will be just as intact as normal as before in the financial capital.
But one thing will change. The most audacious and direct terrorist attack on the Indian business will see industry too becoming a stakeholder in the anti-terrorism drive of the government.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, president, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) said, “Indian business and its various stakeholders have, so far, been mute and very detached from this debate on terrorism and tougher approach to terrorism and terrorists, including anti-terror laws. Last night’s attack is a clear and unambiguous attack on the Indian economy and all its participants. It is time we all join this debate on terrorism and demand stronger and firmer leadership and approach to this threat of terrorism, including better laws”.
SK Birla, director, Birla Brothers, only complemented the thinking when he called on the corporate world to rise to the occasion. Birla said, “It is high time that all citizens of the country and particularly the corporate world rise to the occasion, shoulder to shoulder, with the government, all political parties and the civil society to give a fitting reply to the terrorists who have attempted to create havoc. It is no more an issue for the government alone. The attack has targeted the hub of the corporate world and we will speak in unison”.
