Farrukhabad: Hindu Mahasabha in Uttar Pradesh's Farrukhabad has warned unmarried couples celebrating Valentine's Day saying that if they are found in restaurants or hotels celebrating the occasion then they will be forcibly married in the temple.
Issuing the directive, Hindu Mahasabha youth state president Vimlesh Mishra said that if a couple is found in restaurants and hotels, they will be forced to get married in a temple. As they (members of the Hindu Mahasabha) will be monitoring people, a Pandit (Hindu priest) will also accompany them.
This campaign of Hindu Mahasabha will remain active from 10 am to 4 pm on Valentine's Day (Wednesday).
