J&K scribes asked to leave army event for insulting national

Two local journalists were today asked to leave an army event here after they did not stand up when the Indian flag was unfurled and the national anthem played.
The incident happened at the passing out parade of recruits at the Regimental Centre of Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry Regiment.
"Army had invited us to cover the event and not to participate in it. When the Indian national anthem was played, I was writing down notes for my story.
"After it was over, one Colonel Burn came up to us and said 'all people here stood up for the anthem and the flag except for you. We don't need people like you to be here so leave," one of the journalists later said.
