New Delhi, June 6: A new controversy has erupted at Wipro, a leading IT company, following allegations of pressure for religious conversion and wrongful termination. Vinod Bansal, spokesperson for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), has described the situation as extremely serious and concerning. He claims that attempts to promote conversion and other organized activities are occurring within the corporate sector, warranting a thorough and impartial investigation.
Bansal stated that the recent allegations are not only a concern for the IT sector but for society as a whole. He emphasized that if an employee has been pressured to change their religious beliefs and faced repercussions for refusing, it is a grave issue. He called for an extensive investigation by independent agencies to uncover the truth.
He noted that similar allegations of “corporate jihad” had previously surfaced at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), revealing shocking facts during the investigation. The latest news from Wipro has intensified these concerns. Bansal urged that a national-level agency should conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the matter. He insisted that if any conspiracy, coercion, discrimination, or illegal activities are uncovered, strict action should be taken against all involved parties. He stressed the importance of ensuring that offenders are punished within the legal framework to prevent future occurrences.
Bansal also mentioned that the international secretary of the VHP recently sent letters to various industry and trade organizations. The letter urged companies and institutions to establish clear policies to prevent any form of religious pressure, discrimination, harassment, or illegal activities at their workplaces.
He asserted that workplaces should be environments where all employees can work without fear, pressure, or discrimination. There should be no bias based on an individual’s religious identity, ideology, or personal beliefs. Effective mechanisms for complaints and resolutions should be in place for employees facing such issues.
Bansal appealed to society to remain vigilant. He urged youth to be aware of any pressure, temptation, or suspicious activities and to report such incidents to the relevant authorities. He stated that both social awareness and legal action are essential in effectively preventing such cases.
He concluded, “Jihadists must be understood by the Hindu community, and they should be publicly boycotted. Any interaction with them can be dangerous, as evidenced by numerous incidents. This is part of a larger conspiracy, whether they are educated, poor, wealthy, or highly qualified. Radical thinking dominates their minds. It is crucial to sanitize such extremist ideologies.”
