Lata Mangeshkar’s Brother Hridaynath Mangeshkar Says The Family Will Not Support Memorial Of The Legendary Singer

On the very next day of Lata Mangeshkar’s demise, an ugly political war broke out between the opposition and the ruling party. BJP, who is in the opposition, demanded a memorial of the legendary singer in iconic Shivaji Park. The demand is receiving a mixed response so far. Now, none other than Lata ji’s brother has spoken on the matter.

For the unversed, BJP has demanded a memorial in Dadar’s Shivaji Park to tribute the legendary singer. Shiv Sena, one of the ruling parties in Maharashtra, has agreed to do something valuable as a tribute to Lata ji but hasn’t given a nod to the memorial in Shivaji Park. Not just Shiv Sena but even residents are against the idea proposed by BJP.

Recently, MNS’ spokesperson, Sandeep Deshpande took to Twitter and rejected the idea of Lata Mangeshkar’s memorial. He wrote, “Dadar residents have fought for long to protect the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park from encroachment. They want the park to remain an open playground. It is my ardent appeal that Shivaji Park should not be sacrificed for petty party politics.”
