On Raksha Bandhan, a single thread symbolizes a powerful promise: to protect, support, and stand by one another. Today I shared in the joy of this ceremony with elders at India Home, where South Asian seniors find community, care, and chosen family. That spirit extends to our entire city. May we continue to stand by one another as we build a safer, and more affordable city for all.

#Bengaluru# | Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) activists are demanding recruitment data from private companies, alleging discrimination against Kannadigas in IT jobs. But who gave them the authority to question private firms? The row raises concerns over local job rights, corporate autonomy and the need for government intervention #KRV# #Kannadigas# #ITJobs# #Bengaluru# #BrassTacks# | @nabilajamal_

President Droupadi Murmu celebrated Raksha Bandhan with children and students of various schools and organizations at Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre. The President said that the significance of Raksha Bandhan extends beyond the bonds of siblings. She said that the sacred thread of Rakhi can be tied to family members, friends and even trees, symbolising the bond of love and care. Emphasising the importance of environment conservation, she urged children to nurture plants and trees.

The row over alleged discrimination against Kannadigas in Bengaluru’s IT sector has escalated. Karnataka Rakshana Vedike activists have visited over 100 tech companies, demanding details of their workforce and the percentage of Kannadigas employed across job categories. The group calls it a recruitment audit, despite Deputy CM DK Shivakumar’s warning against moral policing. Can activist groups demand hiring data from private companies, or is this overstepping the line? #Bengaluru# #DKShivakumar# #Kannadiga# #ITSector# #TechFirms#

#Bengaluru# | This comes from the manifesto in which the present government which said that they will implement 80% reservation for all public and private jobs in Karnataka for Kannadigans. So KRV is doing a simple survey: @SajithGowda, Activist, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike #KRV# #Kannadigas# #ITJobs# #Bengaluru# #BrassTacks# | @nabilajamal_
