Pune-based BJP leader Nazia Elahi Khan has taken the corporate world by storm, accusing Lenskart of fostering an environment hostile to Hindu traditions amid a raging dress code dispute. Her unannounced visit to the Andheri outlet led to a tense showdown with manager Mohsin Khan, exposing what she calls systemic discrimination.
In a candid interview, Khan lamented the irony of Hindus being barred from tilak, rudraksha, mangalsutra, and other symbols in their majority nation. ‘Where do we claim our rights—in UAE or Pakistan?’ she challenged, underscoring the constitutional betrayal.
Khan’s inspections of several stores revealed a troubling trend: underqualified Muslim managers at the helm. Probing the manager on his religious routines, she connected the dots to Lenskart’s handbook promoting hijabs, questioning the owners’ allegiance to Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma. ‘I suspect links to anti-national forces,’ she charged, urging a nationwide shutdown of outlets for security scrutiny.
Drawing parallels to TCS terror busts and jihad variants, Khan fears a proxy war to enforce Sharia. As a devout Muslim, she respects Hindu symbols’ sanctity and blasts the hypocrisy. Threatened by terror outfits yet undeterred, she plans Supreme Court action if no resolution comes in 72 hours, advocating paused Muslim hires in key sectors pending probes.
‘I’m a Muslim by constitution, safeguarding India as per the Prophet’s wisdom. Radicals destroying the nation betray both Islam and patriotism—they’re zombies,’ Khan affirmed. Her mantra: nationalism outweighs life itself. The episode has fueled calls for balanced religious policies in private firms, highlighting tensions between commerce and culture.
