Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in a column 'Rokhtok' of party mouthpiece Saamana has attacked the demand of Bharatiya Janata Party for a memorial of famous singer Lata Mangeshkar in Shivji Park. It is written in this article "Lata Mangeshkar has merged with infinity, but her melody - her songs, every particle, will remain. But questions are being raised.
Lata Mangeshkar merged into infinity. Her body was cremated on Shivtirtha, which was good, but the BJP demanded that a memorial of Lata Mangeshkar should be built where the last rites were performed. While what Balasaheb Thackeray gave to Maharashtra, to the Marathas and to the Hindus would not be compensated by a memorial, Lata Mangeshkar helped the entire world forget the pain through the tunes for seven decades, both of which became a fable as soon as they were alive. It doesn't matter whether their monuments are built or not.
The Modi government of Delhi has been making every effort to cover Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru, but by hiding such a cover, will anyone be able to forget Gandhi-Nehru? Those who are fighting over the memorial of Lata Mangeshkar should be so careful that their statements make Maharashtra bow its head in shame. Balasaheb was cremated at Shivaji Park as he was related to the park. With this park, he had concocted the identity of Maharashtra. Forty lakh people had come for the last visit of Balasaheb. Shivtirtha was the only alternative for the last rites of Balasaheb. Lata Mangeshkar is an exception. Prakash Ambedkar said, Shivaji Park should remain, Shivaji Park, it should not be made a cremation ground. Prakash Ambedkar did not speak wrong. Hridaynath Mangeshkar himself has told that it is not our wish that Lata Mangeshkar's memorial should be built in Shivaji Park. Stop politics on this, adopted such a very capable and clear character, which is the nobility of the Mangeshkar family."
