Feb 14, 2009: While the self-styled moral police continue to oppose Valentines Day, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has come in support of couples celebrating the event.

The Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar-led party (NCP) even distributed V-Day cards to love birds in Thane.

Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has not taken any side on the issue saying the celebrations were part of the couples' personal lives.

Interestingly, during his stint with Shiv Sena, the MNS chief had taken anti-Valentines Day stance.

On the other hand, Shiv Sena remained stuck too its old stand of protesting V-Day, which the party said was anti-Indian culture.

Background
