The leader Muthalik of course tried to save his face by giving almost baseless reasons. He has "specific information" that people are going to create trouble for his activists. How intelligent!!
Muthalik concludes, saying that the purpose of having called the protests was accomplished. Now he and his views are popular all across India and 50% of the colleges have directed their students to refrain from celebrating Valentine's day. Now, here's someone who's full of himself. NEWS FLASH Mr. Muthalik; Colleges directed their students not to celebrate in order to protect them from the brutality of your activists. It wasn't in the name of "Indian Culture".
It is a victory for all the youth organizations and other groups that have voiced their opinions against the narrow mindedness and hooliganism practiced by the SRS. Also, I think that http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com deserves a special mention. It has helped to mobilize and unite majority of the urban youth by creating this online campaign.
However, with all the good news for Bangalore, it is a slightly sorry scenario for other places in Karnataka. Anti-SRS organizations were planning and focusing everything on Bangalore. Now a couple of days before Valentines Day, the SRS has shifted its focus to all places but Bangalore. Lets hope this Valentines Day will not be the "UGLIEST" as predicted by many.
