Muslim students to protest against

Even as the Shiv Sena seemed disinterested in disturbing the Valentine’s Day celebration this time,the Students’ Islamic Organisation of India has decided to stage protest against it on Sunday.

Even as the Shiv Sena seemed disinterested in disturbing the Valentine’s Day celebration this time,the Students’ Islamic Organisation of India (SIOI) has decided to stage protest against it on Sunday. The organisation plans to hold an hour-long demonstrations at Bandra railway station at 4.00 pm against the Valentine’s Day celebrations,SIOI secretary Mirza Kamran said.

“This celebration is nothing but giving a licence to the youths to indulge in immoral acts. We believe such activities will erode moral and family values,” said Abdul Qadeer,Mumbai president of the outfit. He,however,said the protests would be peaceful. The Day promoted promiscuity among youths and had to be opposed,he added.

Meanwhile,Mumbai Police Commissioner D Sivanandhan said that the large number of cops already deployed across the city in the wake of Shiv Sena’s protests against Shah Rukh Khan’s film My Name Is Khan would be able to tackle any untoward incident,though they anticipated none. “We do not have any specific intelligence to suggest that there will be any disturbance on the Valentine’s Day. However,there is already massive deployment across the city to tackle the Sena’s protests.”
