In a shocking incident, a Muslim family was kicked out from the movie theatre as they did not stand for the national anthem.

The incident went viral after their video was uploaded on Facebook and shared thousands of times and also being circulated on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms.

The over two-minute video clip shows a few people arguing with the family, who they accuse of making excuses for not standing up when the national anthem was playing. The video shows the family, surrounded by the group of people, trying to defend itself, but the efforts are in vain.

The Muslim family is forced to leave the theatre and the people present there welcome that with applause.

Sources said the management at central Mumbai’s PVR Kurla stopped the screening of a movie at a late Saturday evening show after audience members complained about one family who were allegedly not standing up for the anthem. Several people got into a bitter verbal altercation with the family, who were immediately asked to leave, following which the screening was resumed.

A viral video titled ‘Muslim family thrown out of the cinema hall’ showed people threatening the family and the hall erupting in applause when they were asked to go – sparking strong reactions on Twitter and YouTube.

“The manager said they asked the family to leave after people protested. However, there was nothing to do with the religion of the family if they are Hindu or Muslim. There is no case registered,” said a police officer from Ghatkopar police station. No case has been registered yet.

The subject made headlines last year after Bollywood actress Priety Zinta tweeted she had thrown out an audience member who hadn’t stood up for the national anthem, drawing stinging criticism from Twitterati.

In October, actors Kushal Tandon and Ameesha Patel got into a slanging match on Twitter over the same issue.

Good. Such anti-indians should not be allowed to disrespect the Indian Anthem.

Let them watch the movie somewhere else.

They dont deserve to watch any movie anywhere they should have been arrested

but unfortunately no action taken because we are secular and any non-hindus will not be punished in india.

At least some revolution came from Hindus.
