From his latest post, Akshay has proved that his love for the tricolour goes beyond the silver screen.
In an apparent bid to evoke strong nationalistic sentiments amidst alleged anti-India slogans being raised during protests at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and the Jadavpur University in West Bengal, the central government yesterday made it mandatory to hoist the Indian Tricolour atop a 207-feet mast across all central universities in India. The decision was arrived at during a meeting called upon by the Union Minister for Human Resource Development Smriti Irani with all vice-chancellors of central universities across India.
