Disgraced flag
National Flag is such a symbol that reflects our independence and our identity. It is our obligation to show due respect to the flag. Are we really showing this respect to our flag? Nowadays the flag is used here and there, especially, in the cinema hall. Normally, in a hall a particular show starts with showing the flag along with the National Anthem. Why is it shown and what is expected of us? Some months ago I went to Cineplex to watch a good (as experts say) Bangladeshi movie and heard someone was calling me 'antel' as I stood up to show my respect and obedience to our National Flag and Anthem. I was shocked. I looked behind and found more than 90% of the audience seated.
I request people to show respect to the National Flag in cinema halls or raise their voice to abolish this practice of showing the flag in halls.
