In the city of Patna, where the Ganges whispers its tales, a group of zealots emerged, their fists clenched around menacing sticks and rods. Their mission: to extinguish the vibrant celebration of Valentine’s Day.
With a rallying cry that echoed through the once-serene parks, they proclaimed, “Let obscenity be cast aside!” Their piercing gaze fell upon couples, whose laughter and whispered secrets they deemed an affront to their conservative sensibilities.
“Leave this debauchery behind,” they bellowed, their voices laced with a fervor that bordered on frenzy. “Remember the fallen heroes of Pulwama, their sacrifices demand respect, not this Western folly!”
Their fervor was not confined to Patna’s shores. In the vibrant tapestry of Moradabad, the Bajrang Dal and Bharatiya Sufi Foundation joined forces, their voices amplifying the message of condemnation. They denounced Valentine’s Day as an alien intrusion, a corrupting influence that had no place in the hallowed soil of India.
Patrolling teams were formed, their mission to sniff out any hint of the forbidden celebration. They roamed the streets, their eyes scanning for couples who dared to defy their edicts. The Bharatiya Sufi Foundation added its voice to the chorus of opposition, claiming that Valentine’s Day “misleads the youth, leading them down a path of decadence.”
But amidst this uproar, there were dissenting voices. Some argued that love, in its purest form, knew no boundaries or dates on the calendar. Others questioned the moral authority of those who sought to impose their beliefs on others.
As the sun began its descent, casting golden hues over the city, the debate continued, highlighting the ever-present tension between tradition and modernity, between the zealots and the free spirits who dared to celebrate love in all its vibrant manifestations.
