Valentine's Day: Will you hold inter-caste, gay weddings, JNU students ask Hindu Mahasabha
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union on Friday wrote an open letter to the Hindu Mahasabha, which has asked Indian youth to boycott Valentine's Day and threatened to marry off the couples they spot in the open.
The letter, authored by council members of the JNUSU and other "concerned lovers" dares the right-wing group to marry an inter-caste couple and gays. "Will you marry a boy to a boy he likes, or a girl to a girl? Will you acknowledge their love for each other, repeal section 377?" it asks.
The students have also planned an agitation on February 14 at the offices of the Hindu Mahasabha. "For further clarifications, we will be reaching your Delhi office on the 14th of February. With us will be a boy who is gay and holds his boyfriend's hand with love and affection. There will be a Dalit boy too, with his upper caste lover," the leter says.
