Tata group chief Ratan Tata has said that though the licence permit raj was over, some businesses still believed they could get away with violating the law."There is always a view among some segments of industrial community that they are above the law and they can manage the environment. The licence permit raj is over but there are businesses that think they can get away with the violations of law. If the enforcements were stricter and more uniform, then India, would become a more better place", he said in an interview to CNN-IBN.He said the turmoil in Singur was politically created and the company's track record of exemplary corporate citizenship was proof of their good intentions."I think Singur is unfortunate.. because it really is not our battle. We are caught in the middle of some crossfire that is political," he said.
