New Delhi, June 5: A new controversy has erupted at Wipro, a leading IT company, following allegations of religious conversion pressure and wrongful termination. Vinod Bansal, spokesperson for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), has described the situation as extremely serious and concerning. He has accused the corporate sector of attempting to promote conversion and other organized activities, calling for a fair and thorough investigation into these claims.
Bansal stated that the recent allegations are not only a matter of concern for the IT sector but for society as a whole. He emphasized that if any employee has faced pressure to change their religious beliefs and has been penalized for refusing, it is a grave issue. He urged that independent agencies should conduct a detailed investigation to uncover the truth.
He noted that similar allegations of “corporate jihad” had previously surfaced at TCS, where shocking facts emerged during the investigation. The latest news related to Wipro has heightened these concerns. Bansal demanded that a national-level agency investigate the entire matter, asserting that if any conspiracy, pressure, discrimination, or illegal activities are found, strict action should be taken against all involved. He stressed the necessity of punishing offenders within the legal framework to prevent such incidents in the future.
Bansal revealed that the international general 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 in their workplaces and to ensure compliance.
He insisted that workplaces should be environments where all employees can work without fear, pressure, or discrimination. There should be no discrimination based on an individual’s religious identity, ideology, or personal beliefs. An effective complaint and resolution mechanism should be in place for employees facing such issues.
Bansal also appealed to society to remain vigilant. He advised youth to be aware of any form of pressure, temptation, or suspicious activities and to report such incidents to the relevant authorities. He stated that social awareness and legal action together can effectively prevent such cases.
He concluded, “Jihadis are jihadists, and Hindu society must understand this and publicly boycott them. Any interaction with them can be dangerous, as has been evident in numerous incidents. This is part of a larger conspiracy, whether they are educated, poor, wealthy, or highly qualified. Radical thinking dominates their minds, and it is crucial to sanitize such extremist ideologies.”
