Mumbai, April 20: In a recent controversy surrounding the dress code and grooming policy at Lenskart, BJP Minority Morcha leader Nazia Ilahi Khan has taken a firm stand. She visited the Lenskart store in Andheri, Mumbai, where she directly questioned manager Mohsin Khan about the issue.
In an exclusive conversation, Nazia expressed her disappointment, stating it is ironic that despite India having over 1.2 billion Hindus, many are unable to wear rudraksh, apply tilak, or wear mangalsutra. She questioned where Hindus could seek their legal and constitutional rights—should they ask in the UAE, Gulf countries, or Pakistan?
Nazia reported visiting several stores, including the one in Andheri. She approached the manager, Mohsin Khan, with kindness and asked about the management. She noted that in her visits to 10-12 Lenskart stores, all had Muslim managers, many of whom were only 10th-grade pass while graduates worked under them. This, she suggested, indicates a potential strategy.
She inquired if the manager observes iftar and prays. Upon receiving his responses, Nazia remarked, “You can pray and observe iftar, yet the owner of Lenskart is promoting hijab on their handbills. Do they have animosity towards Indian culture and the identity of Sanatan Dharma? I suspect that the owner has ties to anti-national forces.” She called for immediate action from security agencies, the state government, and police to close all company showrooms for investigation and impose conditions on their licenses.
Nazia referenced recent incidents involving TCS and the busting of modules linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI, expressing concern that this might be a proxy method to implement Sharia. She cited a 2026 statement from Mahmood Madani of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, highlighting that while Muslims enjoy their religious freedoms, Hindus are being deprived of their identities through tilak, mangalsutra, and sindoor. As a practicing Muslim, she emphasized the significant value of these symbols in Sanatan Dharma, calling it a double standard.
She warned that if the company owner does not issue a statement and the government fails to act, she will file a petition in the Supreme Court within 72 hours. Regarding the TCS controversy, she suggested that until a thorough investigation is completed, Muslims should not be offered new jobs in corporate, private, or government sectors.
Nazia concluded, stating, “I am a constitutional Muslim, praying on this very land of India. The Prophet Muhammad said to protect the land you live on. Those radical Muslims harming the country in the name of jihad are neither loyal to the nation nor to Islam; they have become mere zombies.” Despite receiving threats from Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI, she affirmed that her commitment to nationalism remains unwavering.
