'Respect' much?

Since the Supreme Court's order on standing up during National Anthem in cinema halls, to "instill a feeling within one a sense of committed patriotism and nationalism", 20 people have been arrested for apparently not paying 'enough respect'.

However, singing the national anthem incorrectly, or forgetting its words don't seem to be disrespecting it.

Ravinder Gupta, Mayor of North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC), was spotted in a video singing, trying to sing the national anthem.

The BJP leader, along with a group of people, sings the national anthem, replacing words like 'Bharat with 'jaarat' and 'Dravida-Utkala' with ''bravida-Uchkala'.

At some point, he even forgets the words and waits for the crowd to sing before joining them.
