West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee reacts to FICCI. Speaking to news reporters today, Mamata lashed out at FICCI saying the state did not want an industry that killed people. "A chamber (FICCI) has said that the directors of AMRI should be released. I want to tell them that we want industry here, but we do not want industry that will kill people.

"A murderer's identity is that of a murderer, a terrorist is a terrorist. I cannot pardon someone on grounds that the person has a different identity," she said.
