MICCI condemns terrorism

Dear friends,
We at MICCI strongly condemn the ghastly act of terrorism in Mumbai,
in which hundreds of innocent people lost their lives and several
others were seriously injured.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the bereaved and hurt families, who
are suffering for no fault of theirs.
Let us all join hands and do our best to stamp out this evil curse of
terrorism which has spread its tentacles around us.
Jai Hind
Nandini Sahai
Director, MICCI
