India lost its legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar yesterday due to COVID complications. Therefore, to mark and honor respect, the session of Rajya Sabhi was adjourned for an hour. The session was started with the speech of Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, expressing his deep sorrow over such a deep loss.
“Lata Ji knitted our nation by representing us collectively and each one of us in our singularity. Besides defining the golden standard of playback singing through thousands of her melodious songs in many languages, she captured every mood, moment, and journey of our nation for over seven decades.
“Her distinguished and long career ran parallel to that of free India over the last 75 years, capturing the trials and tribulations of the times. India is struck silent with her passing away in the 75th year of Independence,” the RS Chairman said.
