New Delhi: In Delhi’s Batla House, the 72nd Independence Day celebration didn’t lack the grandeur and zeal.

Scores of Madrasah students gathered at the Khalilullah Masjid and marked the occasion with patriotic songs on Wednesday.

“The main objective of organising this event is to eliminate the negative impression among people that students studying at Madrasahs don’t love their nation,” said Danish Reyaz, organiser of the event and managing direct of Maeeshat Private Limited.

At the entrance of the Khalilullah masjid, the imam of the mosque and along with Madrasah students hoisted the national flag.

Attractions of Independence Day Celebration

The main attraction was singing of National Anthem by Maadrasah students and National Flag hoisting ceremony.

Why Batla House made headlines earlier?

Batla House is the place where the two alleged terrorists were shot dead in a mid-morning encounter by the police in 2008.

Delhi Police said five suspected terrorists, holed up inside House No L-18, Batala House in Jamia Nagar, near Khalilullah mosque, exchanged heavy fire with the police team that tried to enter the house for investigations.

Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, 41-year-old highly decorated Inspector, was hit by three bullets — in his abdomen during the encounter. He was taken to the nearby Holy Family Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

Batla House encounter in a nut shell

In September 2008, nearly 30 people were killed in a series of bomb blasts in the national capital. Acting on a tip off, Delhi raided the terrorists’ hide-out Batla House.

SC overturns order, national anthem not must in cinema halls

SC overturns order, national anthem not must in cinema halls

National Anthem in cinema hallsNew Delhi : Overturning its earlier order, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said that playing the national anthem before screening movies in cinema halls was no longer mandatory.

The ruling by a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra followed an order of November 2016 when an apex court bench including Justice Misra had made the playing of the national anthem compulsory in cinema halls before movies are screened.

The Central government on Monday told the top court that it had set up an inter-ministerial committee to frame guidelines to decide the circumstances when the national anthem should be played or sung with decorum and suggested that the earlier order could be reviewed.

Attorney General K.K. Venugopal urged the court to modify its 2016 order substituting “shall” with “may” for the playing of the national anthem in cinema halls.

The 2016 order had said that all viewers in the cinema halls should stand up when the national anthem was played.

Disposing of the petition by Shyam Narayan Chouksey, the court allowed him to take his case to the inter-ministerial committee.
