Mumbai Terror: Ratan Tata condemns terror attack

Ratan N Tata, chairman of Tata Sons and chairman of Indian Hotels Co, which owns the Taj hotel in Mumbai, which terrorists damaged badly, made the following statement on Thursday afternoon. 

"The terrible wanton attacks last night on innocent people and the destruction of prominent landmarks in India deserve to be universally condemned. My sympathies and condolences go out to all those who have suffered, been injured, and those who have lost their loved ones in this terrible act of hatred and destruction," said Tata. 

"We cannot replace the lives that have been lost and we will never forget the terrifying events of last night, but we must stand together, shoulder to shoulder as citizens of India, and rebuild what has been destroyed. We must show that we cannot be disabled or destroyed, but that such heinous act will only make us stronger. It is important that we do not allow divisive forces to weaken us. We need to overcome these forces as one strong unified nation," he added.
