Nadella condemns Kansas shooting

NEWYORK: Microsoft’s India-born chief Satya Nadella on Saturday condemned the killing of an Indian techie in a shooting in Kansas City on Wednesday.

“There’s no place for senseless violence & bigotry in our society. My heart is with the victims & families of the horrific shooting in Kansas,” Nadella tweeted.

Earlier this month, Nadella during an interaction with students here had underlined the importance of “diversity and inclusion” amid an environment of divisiveness. Also during an employee Q&A on January 30, Nadella had addressed President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration, saying there is no place for bias or bigotry in any society. Nadella’s comments come against the backdrop of a divisive and anti-immigrant rhetoric engulfing the US under the presidency of Trump..
