UP: In a controversial move, the Hindu Mahasabha in Uttar Pradesh’s Farrukhabad has issued a warning to unmarried couples celebrating Valentine’s Day. The organization declared that if couples are found celebrating the occasion in restaurants or hotels, they will be forcibly married in a temple. The Hindu Mahasabha plans to actively monitor couples during this campaign, which is set to run from 10 am to 4 pm on Valentine’s Day.
