Bajrang Dal hates lovers. They hate Valentine’s Day even more. They hate it to the extend where they eagerly wait for February 14 every year, so that they can go around the town scare couples and forcefully marry them, if they manage to get hold of any lovers.

With just a week to go for another Valentine’s Day, the Bajrang Dal guys are back. To begin with, the right wing group's sate unit in Telangana has warned pubs and restaurants in the state against giving special offers to couples on February 14.

If that wasn't enough the group has also decided to counsel young couples against celebrating it, because you know, it is against our culture.

"Valentine does not belong to this country Why do we need February 14 in our country," Bajrang Dal's state convener Subhash said.

The group also claimed that they have counselled 70 couples on Valentine’s Day in 2018. With nearly a week still to go before it is Valentine’s Day, rest assured, you will get more of the same from Bajrang Dal units across the country and their like-minded people.

Other than routinely harassing young lovers, Bajrang Dal was recently in the news in December, when Yogesh Raj, district leader of the outfit in UP went to cops against some Muslim men in Bulandshahr accusing them of cattle slaughter.

The rumours spread like wildfire triggering a riot which ended up claiming the lives of two people including a police officer.

Yogesh the prime accused in the case went underground was arrested after being on the run for nearly a month.
