"Fall in Love, Not in Line," were printed on placards carried by over 150 protesters outside the Hindu Mahasabha's offices in New Delhi in dissent over their moral policing.
"Took my dog out for a walk. Hindu Mahasabha got us married. Need your blessings. Happy Valentine's Day!" filmmaker, Shirish Kunder taunted on his Twitter account.
