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.

Kochi, Mar 30: Kerala High Court, while hearing a petition filed against Karnataka's decision to block the border with Kerala, on Monday said that no lives should not be lost in the name of fighting coronavirus.

Kerala High Court also said that "the current problem should be resolved amicably. Both the Union government and the Karnataka government should rise to the occasion."
The Central government has informed Kerala High Court that the movement of goods and medical services qualify under essential services, which is permitted despite the lockdown, and added that directions have been issued to give priority to the movement of such goods and services.
Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has sought a day's time to clarify their stand.

The matter will be taken up for further hearing via video conference tomorrow.
Kerala government has submitted that the action of Karnataka government to close the border is illegal as all the national highways in the country come under the jurisdiction of the National Highway Authority.

Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajmohan Unnithan has also approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to open the Karnataka-Kerala border to allow movement of ambulances and other emergency vehicles for the transport of essential items to Kerala.
