In fact, many senior leaders of BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and RSS have time and again voiced their opposition to Valentine&#8217;s day by terming it as &#8216;western culture&#8217; which degrades &#8216;Indian culture&#8217;. In fact, as an antidote to this invasion of &#8216;western culture&#8217;, many right wing leaders have often suggested that Feb 14 be celebrated as &#8216;Matru-Pitru divas&#8217; instead, a day when one worships their parents. This year, one collector in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, issued a notice asking people to do so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-720x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"910\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-720x1024.png 720w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-211x300.png 211w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-768x1092.png 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-696x990.png 696w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-1068x1519.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001-295x420.png 295w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/02\/Selection_16_02_2017_001.png 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, this rather cute celebration at a BJP office, even if it is not Valentine&#8217;s day celebration as claimed and just a get-together, hopefully, will be an inspiration for the right wing to let go off the hooliganism in the name of Indian culture.
