Thane : HJS Drive against ‘Valentine Day’ gains momentum

Representations submitted to Principals of various colleges

Dombivali (Thane) : 14^th February is celebrated as ‘Valentine Day’ in the world. Many young boys and girl studying in college also celebrate this day on large scale; but celebrating this day is like taking the young generation towards materialism and immorality under the name of love. In the year 1969, name of Saint Valentine was removed by Roman Catholic calendar; but this history is not known to many and therefore, today’s youth celebrates this day blindly following western culture.

Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) submitted representations to the Principals of various colleges viz. Manjunath, Pendharkar, Tilaknagar and Pragati etc. Mr. Dilip Ghag, the district-chief of Shree Sampradaya for Thane (West), Mr. Ramchandra Patil, Mrs. Alpana Joshi of Sanatan Sanstha, Mr. Kartik Salunkhe of HJS along with other activists were present on the occasion.

Highlights : 1.Vice Principal of Manjunath College invited HJS to present this subject in the college.
                      2. The Vice Principal of Pendharkar College promised to distribute handbills published by HJS on the topic in his college.
