All the three offices of Sasken Communications Technologies Ltd in the city were shut down today as members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) attacked one of its offices at Electronic City after a few employees wrote a supposedly derogatory poem on Kannada.
The police said that the attack was in protest against a poem written by a senior executive that allegedly made fun of the Kannada language and was reportedly circulated among non-Kannada employees. Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) B.K. Singh told The Hindu that a private Kannada television channel aired reports about the “anti-Kannada” poem being recited in the office.
the activists had damaged the equipment on the third floor of the company’s research wing
Meanwhile, employees of Sasken also lodged their protest over the poem by refusing to work in the afternoon.
Two boards were displayed on the gates of the company expressing their displeasure.
