“MAIT expresses deep concern and strongly
condemns the vandalism incident at the manufacturing unit of Taiwan-based
Wistron in Karnataka. India is host to many global companies that have chosen
India as a preferred destination for manufacturing across all major sectors
like Electronics, Pharma, Telecom, Automobile and others. This is a one-off
incident which has the potential to tarnish India’s image. We urge the local
authorities for an immediate and decisive action which sends a message to the
global community on India’s tough stand on this aberration. India has very well
laid out grievance redressal platforms and laws to protect the interest of
workers. And in this context this incident is unfortunate and the culprits need
to be brought to book.” – Quoted Mr. Nitin Kunkolienker, President, MAIT –
India’s APEX electronics Industry association representing the IT, Mobile,
Datacom, Consumer Electronics, White Goods, Industrial Electronics and Services
subsectors of Electronics industry.
