A debate 'Prema Yuddha' organised by a local television channel debate on Valentine�s Day turned ugly when alleged Youth Congress activists blackened the face of Shri Ram Sene leader Pramod Mutalik.

Sena activists then roughed up a woman activist, Vimala, who was also participating in the panel discussion.

Deploring the inability of the organisation to �tolerate healthy debate�, she identified the accused as Bhavani Shankar, president of the city wing of the Sene.
