Soon after the Supreme Court ruled the national anthem must be played before every film in cinema halls, Twitterati reacted with surprise, shock and anger.
Here’s what people have to say regarding this judgement:
Why not install speakers nationwide in every nook and corner that blare the national anthem every morning. #NationalAnthem

Supreme Court can also make rules a? I thought they can only make rulings.

Corner seat couples at cinema halls. Stand up. Sing the #NationalAnthem and now continue. #Nationalist

And I thought National Anthem should be sung only under open skies #NationalAnthem

It is only a matter of 52 seconds. Nothing much. Nothing less. Does that mean you cannot spare 1 minute for the sake of #NationalAnthem? n/n
