1. Who celebrate this day in the name of Love, are real fools. The real love is not confined to any definite day or date.

2. Why only on this day the Bhajrangis are concerned. Everyday the worst is happening. Our own Kannada film industry is also showing the worst sex promoting acts. Why these Bhajis can not at least talk on these films. There is no single film without so called licensed Hero heroins of sex promoters.

3. Even these Bhajis also go and watch such films. Many a time they buy ticket at black market.
It means there are licensed white colored sex promotions and poor people for another standard.

We are not supporting such acts, our question is why this double standard.

Police department is in right direction by getting the written statement (Muchchalige patra) by Bajarangi Kulal. This is the first time Police in action regarding law & order situation in Mangalore after SP Murugan transferred. However, I don't endorse valentine day, and it is upto the individuals.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
