A wheelchair user in Guwahati was called a Pakistani for not standing up during the national anthem before a movie at a multiplex last week.

Disability rights activist Arman Ali had taken his nieces and nephew to watch ‘Lucknow Central’ on 28 September when, at the end of the national anthem, he heard someone say, “saamne ek Pakistani baitha hai (There is a Pakistani sitting in the front).”

When he turned back, he saw two men sitting with smug looks on their faces.

Ali took to Facebook to narrate the incident.
