Bhopal: The Lenskart controversy, which started from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has now become viral across the entire country. Shri Dhirendra Shastri ji of Bageshwar Dham gave his reaction on this incident during his Katha in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Without naming the main founder and CEO of Lenskart, Peyush Bansal, but addressing him in typical Bundelkhandi style, he condemned the company's move and advised the owner of the company to move to Pakistan.

What did Dhirendra Shastri say about Piyush Bansal?

Dhirendra Shastri said, "There is a company, its name is Lenskart, it has told the workers of its company that no one can come to our place wearing Tilak, cannot come wearing Mangalsutra, cannot come wearing Sindoor. You open your company in Lahore, why are you in India?"

"Yes! Those who have problem with Tilak, Chandan, Vandan, Ram, Shyam, Hanuman, Baba Bageshwar, should move to the narrow lanes of Lahore. And will also say to the Lenskart people - Son! You are messed up. There is still a chance to improve," he added.

How did the Lenskart controversy start?

Actually, this controversy started after the dress code was issued by Lenskart. It has been directed that Lenskart employees cannot wear any kind of religious symbol. According to the company, both burqa and sindoor come under this instruction. But Hinduist organizations in Bhopal started opposing it and now discussion and reaction on this topic is being seen all over the country.
