Narayan Murthy and the National Anthem issue

Clearly Narayan Murthy committed a faux paus when he tried to explain why the National Anthem was not sung when President Abdul Kalam visited the Infy campus. NRN's argument that he did not want to embarass non-Indians on the campus holds little water. In fact, I was shocked to read it.
But it is a glitch anyone could have made and we should forget it and move on. Also, to his credit, Murthy issued a public apology.

But the media anxious for eyeballs has predictably blown the issue out of proportion. And every politican worth his salt is playing the holier-than-thou game. And now an advocate has filed a FIR against NRN ! I'm convinced it is politically motivated.

When will the public realise that this is exactly what Indian politicans want. Some inconsequential issue to distract people away from real issues - poverty, lack of infrastructure, and lack of governance.
