#AnthemGate Row | “We’re in a situation where Bangladeshis and even the Muslim League once wanted Assam — even Jinnah did. We need reverification, it’s not difficult,” says @UpamanyuHazrika, Senior Advocate, SC.
“As an individual I can sing Pak Anthem, but a party representative cannot, INC is playing divide and rule,” says @Iyervval, Senior Fellow, IPCS.

#AnthemGate Row Escalates | “This has nothing to do with Bengal, Bengali culture or its people — those saying so are ignorant. Gaurav Gogoi doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” says @KanchanGupta, Senior Advisor, I&B Ministry.
“I don’t want to diminish it — we Bengalis sing this song with pride,” says Manojit Mandal, Political Analyst.

@Anthony__Koch Apparently finding a Canadian artist without a political axe to grind is harder than you might think.... 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🙄 #anthemgate #anthemfail 🇨🇦 I want to hear @GadSaad weigh in on this delightful side to the #WorldSeries
Might’ve heard like two guys boo. Lots of Canadians singing along. #AnthemGate
@AMonFootball He's already making people angry before the balls even kicked #AnthemGate
🤦♂️ what a bunch of gammons
It's somewhat surprising, after all the #AnthemGate issues, that the Secretary for Culture, Sports, and Tourism would use that turn of phrase.
🤷♂️
Latest talk on #AnthemGate is Munchkins will be allowed to ruin just 1st minute of each song. Here's my suggestion. Let teams & crowd sing Marseillaise, Hen Wlad, Nkosi/Stem & Fratelli d'Italia, & let kids murder God Save the King & Advance Australia Fair #rugbyworldcup2023
Disgruntled fans could get their wish over a change in the way national anthems are done after a reported meeting of the World Cup organisers. https://t.co/xss1BVvmCz

All that #Anthemgate tough talk regarding sanctions results in what is effectively a slap on the wrist
HKSAR Government supports issuance of written reprimand to HKIHA by SF&OC https://t.co/CKmWn0mwQs
🇭🇰🏒
The verdict is in: Sports Federation and Olympic Committee has issued the Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association a "severe reprimand" over #AnthemGate.
Ice Hockey Association is required to submit a complete improved management plan within 14 days.

{#HK #ANTHEMGATE} 6-May-2023 (daytime): HK’s SF&OC accuses HK IHA of quoting certain parts of the alleged transcript between the two “out of context”, while reportedly not denying certain other parts…
https://t.co/YewK9Ff8vr
(I’m not wasting my time dissecting each accusation)
🇭🇰🏒
#Anthemgate drags on (and on, and on...)
The Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association refutes the rebuke and rebukes the rebuker.
Reminder, the SF&OC official Edgar Yang, apart from being honorary secretary of the SF&OC, is also the Commandant of Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force.
@tripperhead HK IHA’s chairman Kan Yeung-Kit isn’t having any of Yang’s open rebukes & early this morning fired straight back at him, accusing him of…
– “having the attitude of a high pressure interrogation”
– “scare-tactics akin to the 1960s”
– “complete disrespect to the players”
1/2
@tripperhead Kan, in his statement (indeed, his first public remarks on the entire #anthemgate saga), included parts of an alleged transcript between him and Yang over the matter, to support his claims.

#Anthemgate Awakens!
Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association Strikes Back.
Says it never went Rogue.
New report in Return to governing body.
SF&OC previously use an Attack to sanction.
No Revenge in previous statements.
HKIHA has a New Hope this is end.

On April 25th, at the 2023 Cheerleading International Cup held in the United States, the Taiwan team won the championship, and the national anthem of the People's Republic of China was played at the award ceremony.
中华台北夺冠现场奏祖国国歌。
He's absolutely right to ask it.

#ANTHEMGATE
LegCo member Michael Tien has questioned whether the adding of anthem links to the CMAB website today (see here: https://t.co/nGDCLFXPDh) is an indirect admission that the link system was faulty to start with.
