Hindu activists attack unmarried couples​

13 february 2013

Radical Hindu activists have protested against the celebration of Valentine's Day by thrashing unmarried couples in India. The Shiv Sena group had forewarned of its opposition to any form of Valentine's Day celebrations, which they say is an indecent form of Western intrusion into Indian culture. The activists became aware of a local restaurant holding Valentine celebrations and set out to make an example of several couples. School student Akanksha: "We students want to prevent all these adopting of foreign traditions and generate harmful effects on the spiritual nature because this is not good. And we are students to ban all this on February 14, and we want to celebrate it as a marriage solidarity day."

Students held a silent march, carrying placards encouraging youths to celebrate Valentine's Day as a family and marriage solidarity day while older activists promised further retribution against any unmarried couples publically displaying affection in Hindu areas.

Valentine’s Day sparks celebrations, protests in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Some Pakistanis celebrated Valentine’s Day on Wednesday with balloons and flowers, but others denounced the holiday as an insult to Islam.

In the port city of Karachi, home to 18 million people, billboards decorated with a black heart urged citizens to “SAY NO TO VALENTINE’S DAY”.

“This tradition reflects insensitivity, indignity and ignorance of Islam,” the signs read. They were put up by a group affiliated with Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious political party that holds six of 342 legislative seats.

Secular parties dominate Pakistani politics and are likely to win the vast majority of votes in elections due this year, but religious parties often wield political influence through street demonstrations.

“Valentine’s is against Islamic culture. In our view, relationships are sacred. We have arranged marriages in this culture and people don’t get married for love,” said Syed Askari, a spokesman for Jamaat-e-Islami. “This is imposing Western values and cultures on an Islamic society.
“Look at the West – people love their dogs but throw their parents out when they get old. We don’t want to be like that.”

In the north-western city of Peshawar, a handful of people burnt Valentine’s Day cards in front of television cameras on Monday. Women wearing black robes held signs denouncing the tradition.

The state broadcasting regulator, PEMRA, urged broadcasters to “respect viewers’ sentiments”.

“PEMRA has been receiving complaints from a large segment of society that Valentine’s Day celebrations are not in conformity with our religious and cultural ethos and has, therefore, condemned its unequivocal propagation through media,” the statement said.

But in the capital of Islamabad, hawkers selling heart-shaped balloons staked out street corners and florists were doing a brisk trade.

“Valentine’s Day is good for business,” said a grinning Mohammed Ajmar as he handed a customer a huge heart made of red roses and glitter.

“I’m happy with Valentine’s Day. The city if full of flowers and it looks nice,” said 21-year-old student Faateh Khan, who was buying roses for his mother. “Those people are just a minority of extremists acting up for the media,” he said of those making complaints.

As a pre-emptive victim of their indoctrination, you have every right to complain.
