The direct quotes published in the press may more accurately describe the protest.

(AP) Waving religious saffron flags, 20 Hindu nationalists marched to the Indian Parliament on Wednesday and burned Valentine's Day cards, opposing what they called the growing Western cultural influence in India. Describing the cards as obscene because they show young couples embracing and kissing, the protesters demanded a ban on Valentine's Day celebrations in predominantly Hindu India. “I bought some of these cards for 150 rupees each to prove that this is not our culture,” said Jai Bhagwan, chief of the New Delhi unit of the Shiv Sena party.
