The Kalinga Sena, a regional political outfit, has formed teams consisting college girls and boys who will be deployed at parks, shopping malls and other places with cameras and video recorders to shoot the vulgar acts of boys and girls on the Valentine’s Day on February 14 in Bhubaneswar and three other places in the State.
“Since the Valentine’s Day culture is against our tradition and our youths are more eager to celebrate the Western practice in a shameful manner, we will not allow such celebrations that harm Indian culture. Hence, we have formed 10 teams each consisting of seven girls from four women’s colleges of the city to keep a close watch on any vulgarity,” Kalinga Sena supremo Hemanta Rath told reporters here on Wednesday.
Similarly, 100 boys of different colleges would be enrolled for the purpose, added Rath. Besides Bhubaneswar, the drive would be held at Rayagada, Rourkela and Angul. Rath urged the police administration, common people and civil societies to extend support to his effort so that Western culture does not corrupt Indian tradition, particularly in the Jagannath Dham of Odisha.
He warned that the Sena would force marriage of the boys and girls found in indecent positions on the spots and send the photographs to their parents. Meanwhile, the Odisha Suraksha Sena also warned that it would be keeping an eye on the Valentine’s Day celebrations. “The Sena will intervene only if the lines of decency are crossed,” said its president Abhishe Joshi.
