If you’ve visited a cinema hall recently, you may have had to stand up for the national anthem being playing on the big screen. While many felt it was being “enforced” on them, a few had no qualms of standing up for it before the movie began. The remarks by Supreme Court judge Justice D Y Chandrachud over playing the national anthem before the start of a film once again triggered a debate. Spilling his views on the controversial issue, Gautam Gambhir also took to Twitter to share his thoughts.
The left-handed batsman wondered how tough it was to stand for the national anthem for less than a minute. His question was for all those who stand in long queues outside restaurants and clubs but do not have the patience to stand up while the national anthem is being played.
Check out his tweet here.
As soon as he shared his views, many Twitter users bombarded the micro-blogging site with their tweets. While some agreed with the cricketer’s views, others argued against it. Take a look at some reactions here.
