He also stressed that people, specially youngsters should not indulge in celebrating Valentine's Day on February 14. "We should not encourage such foreign culture in our land. Sri Rama Sene is against it, and we condemn all such celebrations," he said.
Mahesh Bhat, Jeevan Neermarga, Praveen Moodigere and Sharath were present at the press conference.
Rama Sene also did not forget to condemn the 'dirty picture' incident in the state assembly by three BJP ministers.
This is perhaps one of those rare incidents where Congress, JD(S), CPM and Right Wing Hindu groups have been of the same opinion!
