Mallika sarabhai attacks modi for not condoling her mother’s death
Modi wrote letter to Mrinalini’s son, said a BJP leader
Ahmedabad/ New Delhi: A few hours after danseuse Mallika Sarabhai hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday for failing to pay tributes to her mother Mrinalini on her death, the Prime Minister has condoled the death by writing a letter to her son Kartikeya Sarabhai, expressing his grief over her demise.
Modi wrote a letter to him on Thursday, condoling the death of his mother, a BJP leader said. Mallika said that the attitude of the Prime Minister showed his "hate" mentality. The classical dancer-turned-activist,
who had fought 2009 Lok Sabha elections against veteran BJP leader L K Advani from Gandhinagar constituency as an Independent candidate but lost, vented her ire on Modi as he has so far not condoled the death of her mother, who also hailed from Gujarat.
"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," Mallika wrote on her Facebook post. "She blazed a trailer for our culture in the world.
That her death sees no word from you shows your mentality. However much you hate me, as our Prime Minister it behove you to recognise her contribution. You have not. Shame on you." she said in the post. Mallika has been a very vocal critic of Modi since he became chief minister of the state in 2001.
She had filed a PIL in the High Court against Modi-led state administration over the 2002 riots and had organised protests against the BJP government. The state police had also filed a case against Mallika Sarabhai for illegal trafficking of Indians to US by way of taking them to that country as part of her dancing troupe. However, the courts had given clean chit to Mallika in that case.
