Right wing activists are banning Valentines day in multiple cities claiming it to be obscene. Among the states that have a police ban are Maharashtra and Karanataka. Maharasthra having banned liquour and "noisy clelbrations" till the 15th of this month. The activists claim that if a couple are really in love then they (the activists or the Sene) would contact their parents and have them get married.
