This is the issue the BMC’s house will discuss on October 6. BJP Corporator Gyanmurti Sharma, who also is the former Law Committee chairman of the BMC, has moved a notice of motion for this.
Sharma, an advocate himself, moved this notice of motion, after he realised that cinema halls play the national anthem, but few minutes before the movie starts.
Post the anthem, a series of advertisements follow, thus the number of people during the anthem are less.
“What is the use of playing the national anthem, when the crowd is minimal? Post the national anthem there are advertisements, which people do not want to see, and are fully aware that only after them the movie will commence.
Hence, not many are present when the anthem is played,” said Sharma.
Sharma said that the motive of playing the national anthem is that more people respect it.
“The motive is lost, the anthem is played to empty halls or a minimal crowd. Hence, we will be moving the proposal it be played just before the movie starts, and no advertisements follow the anthem,” said Sharma.
