Differently Abled People At Cinema

The Ministry of Home Affairs has made it obligatory for even people with disability to stay still while the national anthem is played at the movies. This has left people furious and made them question the government's sensitivity towards the issue.

The national anthem remains compulsory in all cinemas, the Supreme Court said today, while tweaking its earlier order to state that the theatre's doors should remain closed, but not bolted, till the play-out ends. People with disabilities in the audience do not need to stand up, the judges said, clarifying the verdict they delivered last week.
