Pakistani is sitting here: Wheelchair bound man abused for not standing during National Anthem

In November 2016, the Supreme Court had said the national anthem must be played in all cinema halls before screening of a film and everyone must stand up.

A wheelchair bound man was abused at a multiplex for not standing up when the National Anthem was played. Arman Ali from Guwahati was in the front row and sat upright as a mark of respect when the Anthem was played.

However at the end of the Anthem, two men abused him and said, " saamne ek Paksitani baita hai." ( A Pakistani is sitting in front).

Ali, executive director of Shishu Sarothi, an NGO working for the empowerment of differently-abled people, said. "This is what our society has come to. I am planning to write to the Chief Justice of India."
