India-born Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella, Apple chief Tim Cook and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg have condemned the violence at the white nationalist rally in Virginia, saying there is no place for hate and senseless violence.
Terming the last week’s violence at Charlottesville where a 32-year-old woman was killed as “horrific”, 49-year-old Nadella said Microsoft valued diversity and asked employees to empathise with “the hurt happening around us”.
“There is no place in our society for the bias, bigotry and senseless violence we witnessed this weekend in Virginia provoked by white nationalists,” he said.
