Hindu Activists At UP's Agra
Similarly, the Hindu activists and Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha workers entered Paliwal Park in Agra, UP, carrying sticks and batons and chanting "Jai Shri Ram" slogans to protest against Valentine's Day. Seeing the activists chaos erupted among couples sitting in the park.
A similar incident took place in the Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, where two organisations—the Bajrang Dal and the Bharatiya Sufi Foundation—launched their protest against Valentine's Day, condemning it as a Western cultural practice that they believe has no place in Indian.
12 teams were deployed by Bajrang Dal leaders to patrol the city along with other 20 teams monitoring nearby districts. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Sufi Foundation also raised the issues highlighting that celebrating Valentine's Day "misleads children."
