Hyderabad: Welcoming the Supreme Court ruling that it will not be compulsory for cinema halls to play national anthem before screening a film, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said he has been saying this from day one.
Owaisi said one has to respect national anthem, but there is a time and place for national anthem to be played.
"This development has come when they realised there was resentment on ground. People are not accepting BJP-RSS' so-called nationalism, which is nothing but promoting their ideology. Even one SC judge observed how can one wear nationalism on sleeve?" said Owaisi.
Also taking a dig at government, Owaisi added, "I hope more sense will prevail and government will take U-turns on other issues, like, beef ban, etc."
"Many people were harassed, especially people from minority community and handicapped, by vigilante group. It was a wrong decision. Present government does not read pulse of nation, but act according to pulse of RSS agenda," he said.
