News18(@CNNnews18):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
