Bajrang Dal Effect: Parks Deserted On Valentine's Day
Most of the popular parks of Hyderabad were deserted due to the Bajrang Dal's warnings, despite the police assuring full security at parks, malls and hotels.
Bajrang Dal activists today staged protests opposing Valentine's Day, among them being the burning of "effigies" of Valentine's Day.
The activists said that they were not against love or lovers, but were against the Western culture represented by Valentine's Day.
They warned that they would make lovers celebrating the day in public, forcibly tie the knot and only then continue.
Most of the popular parks were deserted due to the Bajrang Dal activists' warnings, despite the Hyderabad police asking people not to be scared of the body and assuring full security at parks, malls and hotels.
