Priya Varrier’s wink is an answer to saffronists’ protest against Valentine’s Day: Jignesh

Firebrand Dalit leader turned MLA Jignesh Mevani has used winking star Priya Prakash Varrier’s viral video clip to counter Sangh Parivar’s opposing to the celebration of Valentine’s Day in India.

Extending his wishes on Valentine's Day with the viral video of Malayalam actress, Mevani tweeted: “Viral hit of ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ is the answer to RSS's Valentine’s Day protest and again Indians have proved that they like to love more than hating someone.”

Sangh Parivar and other saffron outfits have been opposing celebration of Valentine's Day for years now.

Organisations like the Hindu Mahasabha, the Sri Ram Sena, the Bharat Sena, the Shakti Sena and the Bajrang Dal have been indulging in immoral policing against young couples and students in different parts of India, who wish to celebrate the Valentine's Day expressing their love their partners, year after year.

They have unleashed violence in the name of such protests against Valentine's Day celebration, vandalising public property and thrashing whoever they assume are 'couples'.

These groups may not be formally aligned with the RSS but RSS leaders have, too, spoken against celebration of Valentine's Day. RSS Leader Indresh Kumar, in June 2017, even said that "the reason behind rape, illegitimate children and all other atrocities against women is the the "western" tradition of Valentine's Day". However, the RSS has never, by itself, protested against celebrating Valentine's Day.

‘Should send 'Chaddi Sena' on border for one month’

Jignesh Mevani also took a dig at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for saying that the Sangh will prepare a force to fight for the country within three days for which Army would take months.

"Should send Mohan Bhagwat with 'Chaddi Sena' on the border for 1 month... They should know what work Sena does and what problems they deal with," Mevani Tweeted reacting to Bhagwat's comment.

Bhagwat had made the remarks while addressing the RSS organisation in Muzaffarpur's districts school. "Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability," he had claimed.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: Thousands of people on Wednesday boarded boats from Ullal's Kotepura to join a massive protest against the amended Citizenship Act and National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Adyar here.

People travelling through boats and steamers decorated with national flags, raised slogans during their journey through the Netravathi River.

The innovative mode of transportation was used by the protestors to reach the venue, as it not only saved time but was also more convenient for the fishermen, as large number of people from this community joined the protest.

The protestors docked their boats at the shore, which was barely 500 metres from the site of protest, being held at Shah Ground in Adyar.

The distance between Kotepura to the Shah Ground is approximately 15 kilometres but protesters would have to walk more five kilometres to reach the venue because of heavy traffic.

Due to protest, the national highway was also blocked and resulted in huge traffic snarls on routes leading to agitation site.
