　　The issue has been debated across the country with many in favour of the anthem being sung in theatres, while others against it. Several incidents of people being thrown out of movie halls for not standing up for the anthem have also been reported. People have argued that not standing up for the national anthem does not mean disrespecting it and certainly does not prove one unpatriotic.
