Phagwara: Activists of Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray) and Shiv Sena Punjab today said Valentine's Day should be observed as 'black day' as Bhagat Singh and two other freedom fighters were awarded the death sentence on this day in 1931.

Claiming that a section of "misguided" youths celebrate the occasion as "love day" under the influence of western culture, the two outfits organized functions where they paid tributes to Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, and garlanded their pictures.
