Before playing theaters in India, playing national anthem is no longer compulsory. The Supreme Court has given this order on Tuesday. The Supreme Court has given this order in view of a number of incidents in view of the arrest of Hansta by the police on charges of not showing proper respect during playing the national anthem. Earlier, in 2016, the court directed the government to play the national anthem.
Today, according to a news of the Times of India, the court directed the National Music to be compulsory to play the national anthem on November 30, 2010 by mentioning 'national anthem will awaken patriotism and nationalism in the minds of the public'. After that, many of the viewers had to be hunted by the police. On many, 'anti-national' orders were also banned. After the incidents came forward, the Supreme Court asked the Center what steps were taken to stop the police.
The Center told the Supreme Court that a 12-member inter-ministerial committee was formed. The committee will report after six months of observation. The next step will be taken on the basis of that report.
According to the recommendations of Chief Justice KK Binu Gopal of the Supreme Court, the division bench ordered that since then it is not mandatory to play national anthem in the theater
