Intl. Organisation of Employers condemns India's Jammu Chamber of Commerce over its threats to kill refugees

IOE condemns outrageous statement by Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 25 April 2017

The IOE is extremely distressed to learn about the outrageous comments made by Rakesh Gupta, President of the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry in a recent press conference, which was brought to our attention by the United Nations.

The IOE and the business community as a whole strongly condemn and will not tolerate any incitement to violence. 

"We would like to make it clear that the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry is not a member of the IOE, however, as a leading business voice, we find its President's threats unacceptable and a flagrant abuse of the term "corporate social responsibility"", said Linda Kromjong, Secretary-General of the IOE.
