Lenskart Dress Code Controversy Escalates as BJP Leader Nazia Elahi Khan Confronts Management Over Religious Discrimination Allegations

The allegations leveled by Nazia Elahi Khan extend beyond workplace policy, as she claimed the company intentionally appointed a Muslim manager to limit Hindu rituals among the workforce. Escalating the matter further, Khan demanded the arrest of the Lenskart owner and raised provocative questions regarding potential links to terrorist organizations. Her social media post tagged high-ranking officials and agencies, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Office, the National Investigation Agency, and the National Security Guard. While the company has not issued a fresh official statement following this specific confrontation, Lenskart founder and CEO Peyush Bansal previously clarified that the viral document cited in earlier reports was an outdated training note and did not reflect current HR policy. Bansal stated that the mention of bindi and tilak was an error that had already been rectified, emphasizing that the document was not representative of the brand's actual guidelines. This incident has ignited a massive debate across social media, highlighting the volatile intersection of corporate policy and religious identity.
