"Play Border before every movie": 10 twitter reactions to Supreme Court order on National Anthem

NEW DELHI:The Supreme Court's order making the playing of national anthem in cinema halls mandatory elicited sharp reactions from the twitterati with senior commentators terming it "pointless". President of Centre for Policy Research Pratap Bhanu Mehta said the apex court "decimated" the rule of law in its quest for "populism". "The Supreme Court's moral, constitutional and political idiocy in the national anthem order is truly breathtaking. More dark times ahead," Mehta said in a tweet. Senior columnist Ashok Malik wrote he finds the order "pointless", adding that the SC should have better things to do. "Forget this 'constitutional nationalism' obsession. Promote civic sense and civic pride. Everything else will fall into place," Malik tweeted. "How will SC enforce its #NationalAnthem order? By ordering a cop in every show, or simply crowd-sourcing it to self-appointed vigilantes?" senior journalist Shekhar Gupta tweeted. Some used humour, which is never in short supply on Twitter, to mock the order. Here are 10 Twitter reactions to SC's ruling:
