Sir — The iconic lata Mangeshkar has wished that Mr Narendra Modi would become the country's Prime Minister. Now, a senior Congress leader from Maharashtra has demanded that she be stripped of the Bharat Ratna! Are such national honours meant only for the supporters of the CongressIJ
These awards are in recognition of the contribution the recipient has made to the entire country — and not to a political party. Those who are demanding back the evergreen lata Mangeshkar’s recognition are pygmies who will be forgotten soon.
