Hartal spoiled the day

Please don't think I am making fun of our top political leaders. I am an ordinary girl and I have no right to do so. But when they give speeches they always mention that they think of the young generation. But their activities show just the opposite.

My question is did not they know that 14 February was the Valentine's Day? Could not they forget their endless dissatisfaction with the opposition only for 24 hours? If they were unable to do so, fine, why did they rob us of our enjoyable moments? It is obvious that a lot of people planned that they would celebrate the day (like me); lovers thought they would pass the day in a romantic mood; couples thought they would go for lunch with the partner. But declaration of 'hartal' just ruined the day.

Will the situation change in future?
