Muslim family forced to leave theatre for not standing during national anthem

[shawl_who]

A video about a Muslim family asked to leave a theatre because they did not stand for the national anthem is gaining attention on social media.

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.

The video has been posted on Facebook and shared thousands of times. It is also being circulated on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms.

Though the authenticity of the video's location is not verified, some reports say it is from Mumbai, others say it is from Bengaluru.
