‘How Literates Need to be Educated’, BJP Hits Back at Satya Nadella Over His Remarks on CAA

Taking on Microsoft’s Indian-born CEO Satya Nadella over his remarks on the Citizenship Amendment Act, BJP MP Meenakashi Lekhi on Tuesday said it is the “perfect example” of how the literate need to be educated.

Responding to a question by BuzzFeed on the CAA, Nadella was quoted as saying that what is happening in the country is “sad” and “just bad”.  Speaking to editors at a Microsoft event in New York, he also said he would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant who comes to India create the next unicorn in India.

“How literate need to be educated! Perfect example,” Lekhi said on Twitter in response, and also posted Nadella’s statement issued by Microsoft India. “Precise reason for CAA is to grant opportunities to persecuted minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan & Afghanistan. How about granting these opportunities to Syrian Muslims instead of Yezidis in USA?” she went on to say.
