Murthy summoned by court in national anthem case

BANGALORE, MAY 27: The furore over the alleged disrespect shown to the national anthem by IT bellwether Infosys Technologies co-chairman and chief mentor NR Narayana Murthy seems to be haunting him. After local politicians raised a hue and cry, it is now the turn of a local court to issue summons, asking him to appear before it in person on or before June 21.
On April 8, during the visit of President APJ Abdul Kalam to Infosys' Mysore campus, in a reply to a query why an instrumental version of the national anthem was played, Murthy had stated that it was an effort to avoid embarrassment to foreigners present at the campus. Soon after the statement, the issue was raised in the Assembly, with Karnataka Home Minister MP Prakash calling it an “unpardonable offence.” Meanwhile, another complaint against Murthy filed by HN Nanjegowda wiFollowing a private complaint filed by the local advocates' body, Karnataka Rakshana Vakilara Vedike, the second additional city and chief metropolitan magistrate's court issued the summons on Saturday. “We filed a private complaint with the chief metropolitan magistrate’s court after the Tilak Nagar police station did not take any action against our complaint,” Karnataka Rakshana Vakilara Vedike president Vijay Kumar told FE on Sunday. Although Murthy had made a public statement by saying if it had hurt anyone's sentiments, he "deeply apologised" for it, Kumar said it was not enough.
