Veteran BJP leader LK Advani extended condolences on Lata Mangeshkar's demise, said she left an indelible mark of excellence in the world of music. His condolence message reads:
I am deeply distressed to hear about the passing away of Lata Mangeshkar ji.
Idolised worldwide, Lata ji has left an indelible mark of excellence in the world of music.
Lata ji has been my all time favourite among popular singers and I feel fortunate to have shared a long association with her. I recall the time when she recorded a beautiful Shri Ram Bhajan and sent it to me when I was about to undertake my Ram Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya. That memorable song--“Ram Naam Mein Jaadu Aisa, Ram Naam Man Bhaaye, Man Ki Ayodhya tab tak sooni, jab tak Ram Na aaye…” became the signature tune of my Yatra.
Amongst Lata ji’s countless beautifully rendered songs for Hindi Cinema, I have been particularly fond of Jyoti Kalash Chhalke… and each time I felt overwhelmed when Lata ji sang this song at my request at several public events where we shared the dias.
Lata ji was a fine human being and in all my interactions with her, I was touched by her simplicity, warmth and above all, her love for our great country.
The nation will truly miss Lata ji. She will continue to inspire many generations of music lovers.
My heartfelt tributes to her and condolences to all members of her family.
Om Shanti.
