Bangalore hits back: says don't label us


MUMBAI: Infosys' chief mentor Narayanmoorthy participates in TIMES NOW on campaign says action of two Bangaloreans should not sully IT capital.

Tired of the negative propaganda and the stereotyping that has followed the involvement of two Bangalore based brothers in the Glasgow bombings, prominent Bangaloreans have decided to speak out on a special campaign that's being aired on TIMES NOW.

The campaign, whose title "Don't label us" reflects the predominant mood and fear of many people in the city, will over this entire week, air the concerns of India's IT capital at the possible backlash of the discovery of a Bangalore link to the terror web.

Appearing on the special coverage on TIMES NOW, Infosys chief mentor Narayanmoorthy said: "Bangalore is and will continue to be a city of creativity innovation in IT and Biotechnology, all for peaceful purposes, all for making this a better world. I believe that inspite of the action of two people originating from Bangalore and going abroad, being influenced by terrorists and indulging in such activities, I don't think - with a lot of emphasis on the don't - Bangalore's reputation will change. It will be the city that strives to make this a better world"

As part of this special coverage, TIMES NOW will also air the views of citizen reporters from the city, from different fields. The channel is also conducting an exhaustive poll across the city to air the general views, of the ordinary Bangalorean to the country and the rest of the world. The poll is aimed getting a feel of whether the city fears that its perception will suffer internationally following the Glasgow bombings and whether the ordinary Bangalorean feels enough is being done to contain the possible damage
