Shame on you, Mr PM: Mallika lambasts Modi for not condoling Mrinalini's death
January 22, 2016 15:40
A day after legendary danseuse Mrinalini Sarabhai's death, her daughter Mallika Sarabhai, a bitter critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, slammed him for not condoling her mother's death.
Mallika's post on her Facebook page reads:
My dear prime minister,
You hate my politics and I hate yours.
That has nothing to do with what Mrinalini Sarabhai did to promote the culture of this country to the world over sixty years. She blazed a trailer for our culture in the world.
That her death sees no word from you shows your mentality. How ever much you hate me, as our prime minister it behove you to recognise her contribution. You have not. Shame on you.
Immediately after the Gujarat riots of 2002, Mallika and Mrinalini Sarabhai were among the first people to lambast the then Modi administration in Gujarat. She had also approached the Supreme Court with a PIL seeking compensation for the riot victims.
Immediately after the PIL, the Gujarat government had filed a case against her accusing her of human trafficking, as her performing arts academy Darpana, used to take artists from India to abroad for shows.
