Centre’s U-turn over national anthem

Kashmir Times. Dated: 1/17/2018 2:54:19 PM

Dear Editor,
It is unbelievable but true that central government filed affidavit at Supreme Court leading Apex Court suspending its verdict of 30.11.2016 whereby playing national anthem at cinema halls was made compulsory.
Central government sought six-month time for committee of ministers to take a final call on the issue. Committee of ministers could be desired to submit its report on such a small issue to avoid pending playing of national-anthem at cinema-halls indefinitely.
There seems to be a fine strategy in taking U-turn by central government on the issue since ruling party at the centre is known for its commitment on the issue.
