In Udaipur, protests flared as members of Hindu outfits took a stand against eyewear company Lenskart's alleged employee guidelines, which they claim limit religious expression.
The groups, including Vishwa Hindu Mahasabha and Shri Ram Sena, gathered at a Lenskart showroom to voice their opposition to what they described as anti-Hindu policies.
They asserted that the eyewear company advised its employees to restrict wearing religious symbols such as sindoor, bindis, and tilak, actions they argue erode long-standing religious practices.
