Two journalists asked to leave army event as they didn't stand up during national anthem

[Laozi]

not in every state . some states are very loyal to India.

Thanks, you have aberrations everywhere. It's better to ignore them

Not really. I tend not to live or die based on what fellow forumers write. Respectfully, what your opinions have been of Congress for so many years are not what matters now.

If people of that generation had indeed expressed their opinion against what Congress was becoming, perhaps it would not be what it is today - a party that would align with jihadis and jeopardize India just to be able to point fingers against BJP.

I only want one thing - I want a strong national opposition party to BJP. Because a good opposition is the key to a good Government. Lack of a good opposition to Government (whichever party it may be) will lead to tyranny.

Congress under the Gandhis is not that party. Either the party rids itself of the Gandhis or the country will get rid of Congress.

That is why I get irritated by youngsters nowadays. Do you know when people of my generation threw out the Congress in my state? It is true that we chose a horrible alternative, but at that time, that was the only alternative."

However, I have to admit that your concluding two paragraphs make very good sense. I agree wholly with them.

No. They have a right not to acknowledge the National Anthem, if it militates against their religious beliefs. There is a Supreme Court judgement on this. But these two did what they did for political purposes, out of political conviction. Asking them to leave was absolutely the correct step. No more, no less.



It is not a duty. It is a right. An individual may not exercise his or her right.



An immature and remarkably shallow statement. No Indian political party has 'promoted' this behaviour. It stems from their separatist views.



It was not. The two publications in question make it a point to twist everything that they can twist and misrepresent things. I can take you into Facebook discussions which will put you off in ten minutes, as you realise how some of the moderators consistently work on the rest of the members and their emotions and feelings.

Balls....had it been China or Pakistan they would have been flogged on the spot!!

Lets not make Democracy as Demons-Crazy !!

Personally I am proud of the fact we are not like that.

Pick your battles. You don't need a nuke to kill cockroaches.

Pretty much!


But what we didn't do was imprison them, or kill them, or threaten them .

We just asked them to leave.

As long as you are in Indian controlled territory you follow Indian rules.

If you don't like it , an exit visa is available.

 

[nair]

Appropriate action!!

 

[indiatester]

Whats this sh!t about apology from army after that?

Why would I stand for your national anthem in the first place? and why would you do for mine? it is a simple thing you cannot force non-Indians to stand for Indian anthem

If they are not Indian they shouldn't be living in India paying Indian taxes and using Indian passports and subsidized Indian government services.

Like I said it is not difficult to leave, they are welcome to leave if any other country will take them.

Kashmir is NOT India. Simple as that. It is India which is using Kashmiri electricity and earning huge amount using Kashmir.

You took over their land and then you demand them to follow your ways? No self respecting Kashmiri will stand up to the national anthem of India. It is a territory taken by force and against the will of ethnic Kashmiris.

Ok this is off topic.

Much has been said about this on a zillion threads, so I am not going to re hash it.

Kashmir is indeed India as the two young gentlemen just found out!

NO if they had found it out then they would have stood for Indian anthem. In fact once again Indian occupying army found out that Kashmir is not Indian territory and hence they cannot force Kashmiris to stand for Indian anthem so they expelled them from the function which BTW was a puppet lip service anyway but interestingly your Idiot army once again paved way for a juicy news story.

 

[livingdead]

Way too harsh, in my opinion. It could have been an honest mistake. They could have been very tired and so they forgot.

you see everybody around you stand up but you are so tired that you did not realize whats going on. In any case they are not banned from future function, just this one.

Kashmiris do not count themselves as Indians and thus did not stand up for the anthem. They believe they are an occupied people suppressed and oppressed. It is their choice whether they want to stand up or not. No one can force someone to be loyal to a country. Not India not Pakistan.

well then nobody judges them for their action, but they were right to be ejected from an army sponsored event.
