Action against Colors for using the national anthem for promotion of Bigg Boss
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the central government to take action within a week against TV channel Colors for using the national anthem to promote reality show 'Bigg Boss 6' in cinema halls across the country.
The court gave the directions after hearing a PIL against the channel for running a commercial of the Salman Khan-hosted show wherein an audio demanded that all present in the hall should "stand up for the national anthem" as Bigg Boss wanted it.
"The Colors channel randomly displayed an advertisement inside the movie theatres and the said advertisement was in the form of a visual displaying the logo of its programme 'Bigg Boss 6' followed by an audio demanding all present in the hall to stand up for the national anthem.
"'Bigg boss chahte hain ki aap rashtriya gaan ke liye khade hon', (Bigg boss wants you to stand for the national anthem) and then the Indian National Anthem was played," the petition stated.
