Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian opening batsmen who are trolled on Twitter. Many public personalities have come out in recent times and expressed their views on the ongoing debate regarding the playing of the National Anthem in movie halls. On Friday, it was the turn of India cricketer Gautam Gambhir to have his say on the matter. The left-hander took to twitter to ask his followers how 'tough' was it to stand for the National Anthem for 52 seconds when one could wait outside a club for 20 minutes and wait outside a restaurant for 30 minutes. Gambhir's strong views split Twitter right down the middle with many disagreeing with what the cricketer had to say while others praising him for his stand.
"Standing and waiting outside a club for 20 mins. Standing and waiting outside favorite restaurant 30 mins. Standing for the national anthem: 52 secs. Is Tough for us?," Gambhir tweeted on his official handle. Rules that require the National Anthem to be played before every movie screening can be modified but the government should take a call instead of "shooting from the court's shoulder", the Supreme Court said on Monday, noting, "We don't have to wear patriotism on our sleeve".
Even though the left-hander isn't wearing India colors at the moment, he continues to strike a chord with fans off the field.
