Twitter users in favour of normalising PDA
As this image went viral, many people were seen in favour of normalising PDA in contrast to the general reaction to such photos and videos, where people are usually left concerned and shocked.
¡°People in Dehli will literally walk past a man stabbing a woman to death like its not their business but PDA is where they draw the line,¡± wrote a Twitter user as he urged people to normalise the expression of love in public.
Another person mentioned, ¡°Kiss more and kiss open. Kiss often. Make them jealous. Cheers to love.¡±

Why does a consensual display of love upset you? Cope. Get used to it https://t.co/QoYriespYK

It¡¯s so pathetic that Indian society is more angered over small consensual acts of love than actual violence against women and children which also happens in public. https://t.co/Ebb8LZegyX

Amidst this positive reaction, a few users also schooled the Twitter user who had shared the image, making their disapproval of his act evident.
There is nothing wrong in Consensual PDA. The only ridiculous thing is you recording and making it public.

Delhi police should Jail you if Counter FIR is filled by this couple. https://t.co/EhygR8uDUV
