Just did some basic research to find out what could be the reason (if any) for 'Goons Brigade' objection to celebrating Valentine's Day and came up with some facts.
You are invited to decide if there is any justification for the threats being issued by certain fringe outfits like Shiv Sena/Ram Sene etc.
It is obvious that frustrated manipulators have a hidden agenda to protect their vested interests by resorting to extra constitutional tactics to blow 'non issues' out of proportion and gain media attention.
It is time for the common citizen of the country to introspect and seek to change the abuse of democratic rights by the minority which the system of governance is failing to control by implementing rule of law. The media can play the role of a catalyst to build the pressure group for change.
The VALENTINE'S fact sheet is simple and non controversial.
* Celebrated world wide on 14th February.
* According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year. Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women!! (validates my observations about women made on 15th Januaray!!)
* Significance - Lovers express their feeling for each other.
* Traditional Symbols - include hearts, doves, Cupid and love notes.
* Observances - Sending greetings cards and gifts, dating. - (Saudi Arabia's religious police in 2008 banned the sale of all Valentine's Day items, which created a black market for roses and wrapping paper?)
CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY THIS YEAR TO PROTECT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY OF CHOICE.
