Hubballi, Feb 12 : Chief of Sri Rama Sene Pramod Muthalik has repeated his old stand on Valentine's Day, declaring that love should not be limited to one particular day.
"Sri Rama Sene opposes this foreign culture of celebrating love on Valentine's Day. But on the same day, we have decided to unite lovers, irrespective of caste, in wedlock," said Pramod Muthalik, convenor of Sr Rama Sene.
"Whatever caste or religion they may belong to, we will unite them in wedlock, with the permission of their parents. Lovers can contact us in this regard, and we will perform their wedding according to Hindu tradition. If boy or girl is found to be of a different religion, then first they have to accept the Hindu religion and then we will perform the rituals," he said.
"Already six couple have contacted us to help them get married, and we are in the process of convincing their parents," he added.
Muthalik also said that youth should perform 'Mata-Pita Puja' (parents' worship) on February 14, instead of celebrating it as Valentine's Day.
