Overview

• Members of Jana Jagarana Samithi staged protests outside Karachi Bakery in Visakhapatnam, demanding its immediate renaming due to its perceived association with Pakistan.
• The protests were sparked by heightened tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 civilians, including two from Andhra Pradesh.
• Protesters urged the central government to file sedition charges against the bakery's owners if the name is not changed.
• Police intervened to prevent protesters from removing the bakery's name board during the demonstration.
• Karachi Bakery, established in 1953 by a Sindhi Hindu migrant, has no ties to Pakistan, with its name reflecting the founder’s origins.
