 "Mallika Sarabhai slams PM Modi for not paying tribute to her mother")
Mallika Sarabhai criticised Prime Minister Narendara Modi for not paying tributes to her mother, renowned Bharatanatyam dancer, Mrinalini Sarabhai, who passed away on Thursday.
“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 60 years. She blazed a trailer for our culture in the world,” Mallika the social actiist and dancer said in her Facebook post.
Mallika, has constantly attacked the former Gujarat Chief Minister Modi for the 2002 communal riots in the state.
“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 continued in her post.
Mrinalini Sarabhai was a Padma Bhushan awardee. She founded Darpana Academy of Performing Arts, an institute for imparting training in dance, drama and music.
