Play national anthem in all cinemas before film screening: Supreme Court
The national anthem must be played in all cinema halls across the country before a film is screened and everyone present must stand to pay respect to it, the Supreme Court ordered today.
“People now-a-days don’t know how to sing national anthem and people must be taught. We must respect national anthem,” the top court said.
The apex court also said that the along with the anthem the national flag should also be show on the movie screen.
The Centre and states have been given 10 days to implement the court’s order. The Centre said it will circulate the order to all states’ chief secretaries and will also publish it in the electronic and print media.
Further, the SC said the national anthem must not be played on entertainment TV shows as it cannot be commercially exploited. There should not be any dramatisation while singing and playing the national anthem either.
The anthem must not be printed on an “undesirable place” either.
