At a time when the whole world was paying homage to the late singer Lata Mangeshkar and her fans were exhausted with grief, the leaders of the ruling BJP were busy making the last rites controversial.
Thousands of government, social, political and showbiz artists attended the last rites of Queen Lata Mangeshkar and all prayed for the late singer in their own way. क्या इसने थूका है ❓ pic.twitter.com/RZOa2NVM5I
Leaders of the ruling BJP, which has sown the seeds of anti-Muslim sentiment and anti-minorities in India, once again tried unsuccessfully to fan the flames of hatred without seeing the opportunity.
During Lata Mangeshkar's last rites, Shah Rukh Khan arrived with his manager Pooja Dadlani. Shah Rukh raised his hands in prayer and finally took off his mask and blew on the corpse. No hate can conquer this....

Haryana BJP leader Arun Yadav saw in this scene what was not mentioned in the whole fabrication. He shared the video and wrote in the caption whether Shah Rukh was spitting on Lata Ji's body. You aren’t just a bigot but pure evil to twist a dua said in reverence of the departed soul to spread hatred.
Think about it people, will we let the evil win?#LataMangeshkar #ShahRukhKhan
In response to this tweet, the entire social media team of the BJP jumped up and started cursing Shah Rukh, some even made threats but soon the business of hate traders came to a halt. #ShahRukhKhan at #LataMangeshkar 's funeral offering prayers! This is the real heritage & culture of India. Certain religious bigots cannot digest it! pic.twitter.com/75B4w0GY3A
Congress leader Supriya Shri Nath dismissed the BJP leader's tweet as disgusting. He wrote that this aspect of India will not be digested by extremists.
