In the capital of Bihar, Patna, Hindu Shiv Bhawani Sena has launched widespread posters protesting Valentine's Day, labeling it as against Hindu culture and issuing stern warnings to couples.
According to sources, posters across Patna read - 'Wherever lovebirds are found, we'll dismantle it entirely.' The Hindu Shiv Bhawani Sena claims Valentine's Day contradicts Indian culture and promotes obscenity and 'Love Jihad'.

The posters further urge respect towards soldiers martyred in the Pulwama attack, instead of celebrating Valentine's Day on February 14. The organization’s chief, Love Kumar Singh, stated they will not tolerate those spreading obscenity and warned of strict measures with sticks and bats against any public misconduct.
Warning of Surveillance and Action on Streets
Hindu Shiv Bhawani Sena announced the deployment of its members at key locations throughout Patna. The group claims that couples found spreading indecency in public will be taught a lesson. Following this poster campaign and threatening messages, the administration is vigilantly monitoring the situation to maintain order.
