They further said that Valentine's Day is not a festival of our Hindu culture thus we oppose it. Rashtriya Bajrang Dal's department president Avtar Singh Gill has announced that if anyone opposes the decision, then they will be carried around on a donkey.
Gill said that Valentine was a foreigner, who was a bachelor. The king of that country used to tell his army that when Valentine fought a war, he did not worry about anything thus advised everyone to remain a bachelor. Consequently, he ended the civilization in his country and started celebrating a festival.
