Thane (Maharashtra) : Our culture teaches us to have selfless love and respect for mother, father, Guru and motherland; but practice of celebrating Valentine Day has become rampant and it is leading to many malpractices. News has been published in different newspapers about increase in sale of contraceptives on this day. The turn which this ‘Lovers Day’ is taking should be stopped.
Sou. Supriya Gaikwad and Sou. Sarita Narvekar of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) explained this topic to students of N. K. T. College, Thane.
