The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has voiced strong objections to an incident in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, where three boys were reportedly asked to remove their 'janivara', a sacred thread symbolizing their Hindu faith, before entering an examination hall. R. Ashok, the Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, accompanied one of the affected boys and his parents to the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner’s office, urging the police to take action. Initially, the police were hesitant to file a case, but following Ashok's discussions with higher authorities, including the Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IGP), they agreed to proceed. The BJP has characterized this incident as an affront to Hindu religious sentiments and is calling for immediate arrests of those responsible, framing it as part of a pattern of targeting Hindus in similar situations.
