PM Modi had paid rich tributes to the celebrated singer Lata Mangeshkar in his reply in the Lok Sabha on the debate on Motion of Thanks to the President's address to the joint session of Parliament. In his address, PM Modi said, "Lata Mangeshkar's younger brother, Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar Ji, a proud son of Goa, was fired from All India Radio (AIR). What was his fault? He had only presented a patriotic poem by Veer Savarkar on AIR once."
He slammed the opposition as he talked about late Lata Mangeshkar's brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar, who was allegedly sacked from his services in the All India Radio (AIR).
"Lata Mangeshkar's family is from Goa. But what her family was subjected to should be told to the entire nation," said PM Modi in Rajya Sabha during his reply to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address to the joint session of Parliament.
