Janeu row: VHP Spox Vinod Bansal calls it ‘live example of hatred towards Hindus’

New Delhi, April 20, 2025 (ANI): Reacting to incident in Karnataka, where Hindu examinees were asked to remove their ‘janeu’, Vishva Hindu Parishad National Spokesperson Vinod Bansal on April 20 called it a live example of the hatred towards Hindus. He also demanded judicial inquiry into this incident. He also slammed Karnataka government by calling them an anti-Hindu government.   “This is a live example of the hatred towards Hindus... Those who are immersed in their hatred towards Hindus do not know about Janeu, the sacred thread. They only see it as a thread. I salute that small child who gave up his exam but did not give up the janeu to protect his religion. There should be a judicial inquiry into this incident. Apologising or suspending will not work. The conspiracy behind this incident should be exposed... This clearly means that there are some people who have taken a contract to attack the Hindu religion... The Karnataka government is becoming an anti-Hindu government... I warn Congress to come out of this anti-Hindu mentality... The state's CM should apologise immediately... There should be an alternate arrangement for the examination of this child... This incident was also an attempt to push people towards conversion...,” said Vinod Bansal.
