Udupi, Feb 10: Sri Rama Sene founder Pramod Muthalik on Sunday, February 10, said that Valentine's Day is a culture of Christians.

Speaking to reporters on sidelines of Hindu Rashtra Jagruthi meeting here in Udupi, Muthalik said, “It is a culture followed by Christians. We do not need such western culture. We will approach deputy commissioners across the state and urge them not to allow Valentine's Day celebration. Instead of lover's day, we should honour our parents. We will not take law into our hands. If we see any such incident at parks and roads, we will inform police."

Lashing out at the BJP, he said that if the party had video of chief minister H D Kumaraswamy demanding money from MLAs, it should have filed a complaint and approach court. “We are witnessing dirty political situation in Karnataka. We need to reject all three national parties. If one party drops an audio bomb, another comes up with a video. If the BJP has video against Kumaraswamy, whey they are not releasing it? Also if the BJP is really innocent, why it has not yet filed a defamation suit against audio released by Kumaraswamy? If you have not committed any mistake, then approach court," he said.

He further said, "I doubt BJP is an honest party. It has forgotten its Hindutva agenda now. They are making deals in crores to get back to power. Our hard earned money in the form of tax is wasted for these deals made by political parties."

He also added that he will not contest in Lok Sabha polls. "There is no place for honesty and Hindutva in today's politics. Though PM Modi has done good work, there is no change in the BJP party," he said.
