Complaint seeks probe into Independence Day fiasco at Kozhikode Corporation in Kerala
Mahatma Gandhi National Foundation approaches Kerala Police seeking action over simultaneous singing of national anthem and national song during the Independence Day celebrations
The Mahatma Gandhi National Foundation in Pala has lodged a complaint with the Kerala Police over the Independence Day celebrations at the Kozhikode Corporation, alleging the simultaneous singing of the national anthem and national song. Chairman Eby J. Jose pointed out that disrupting the singing of the national anthem is punishable under the 1971 Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act.
Jose claimed that turning national symbols into "instruments of political confrontation" on Independence Day undermines the significance of the occasion. He submitted a video link as evidence and requested verification of the footage, an impartial inquiry, and action under the applicable law if a violation was established. Jose also called for measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
