Karnataka assembly pays tribute to Lata Mangeshkar
Bengaluru, Feb 14: Glowing tributes were paid to eminent playback singer and Bharat Ratna awardee Lata Mangeshkar, who passed away recently, along with others in the Karnataka assembly on Monday.
Speaking in the assembly, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said words fall short to portray Lataji's personality.
"Lata Mangeshkar was a special creation of God. The purity of Saraswati flowed through her voice. She would give life to the lyrics with her scintillating voice in a way that the song would remain etched in the memory forever," Bommai said.
In his tribute to Mangeshkar, Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah said the Bharat Ratna recipient was an unparalleled singer who had become a living legend by singing over 30,000 songs.
She sang over 10,000 Hindi songs and lent her voice for songs in 36 different languages, Siddaramaiah said.
Hailing the emotions that Mangeshkar would pour into her songs, the former chief minister said 'Aye Mere Vatan Ke Logon', which was a tribute to the soldiers who died during the 1962 Sino-India war, had brought tears to the eyes of then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru.
The assembly also paid tributes to former minister and former chief secretary J Alexander, former MLA M M Sajjan, former minister H B Patil, Prof Chandrashekhar Patil, religious orator Ibrahim Sutar and Justice K L Manjunath.
After the homage, the assembly was adjourned for the day.

Human teeth not a dangerous weapon: Bombay HC after woman alleges being bit by sister-in-law
Mumbai (PTI): Human teeth cannot be considered as a dangerous weapon which would cause serious harm, the Bombay High Court said quashing an FIR filed on a woman's complaint against her in-laws wherein she alleged her sister-in-law bit her.
The complainant's medical certificates show there was only simple hurt caused by teeth marks, Justices Vibha Kankanwadi and Sanjay Deshmukh of the HC's Aurangabad bench said in the order on April 4.
As per the FIR lodged in April 2020 on the woman's complaint, during a scuffle, one of her sisters-in-law bit her, thus causing her harm with a dangerous weapon.
The accused were booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for causing harm with dangerous weapons, hurting someone and causing injury.
The court in its order said, "Human teeth cannot be said to be a dangerous weapon."
It allowed a petition filed by the accused and quashed the FIR.
Under section 324 of the Indian Penal Code (causing hurt using a dangerous weapon), the hurt should be by means of an instrument that is likely to cause death or serious harm, the HC said.
The medical certificates of the complainant in the present case show there was only simple hurt caused by teeth marks, the court said.
It would be an abuse of the process of law to make the accused face trial when the offence under section 324 is not made out, the HC said and quashed the FIR.
The court noted there appears to be a property dispute between the accused and the complainant.
