Both Sindh, Sindhu In National Anthem Correct, Centre Tells HC

Mumbai, Oct 6: The Centre has sought to put a lid on the controversy over the words "Sindh" and "Sindhu" in the national anthem and told the Bombay High Court that both the usages were correct.

The Union Home Ministry submitted an affidavit before the High Court saying both the versions of national anthem with the word ‘Sindhu’ used for playing or singing and the version in the text which uses the word ‘Sindh’ are correct.

The case will come up for hearing tomorrow after the Court pulled up the Centre for not giving the correct position.

The affidavit was filed by the Union Ministry in reply to a public interest litigation filed by retired professor Shreekanth Malushte challenging use of the word ‘Sindh’ in the national anthem.
