New Delhi: Today, India is collectively mourning the demise of the legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar. Popularly known as the Nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar suffered Covid-19 complications, later pneumonia, and succumbed to death due to multi-organ failure. The singer was 92 years of age.
The singer’s last rites were performed in Shivaji Park where she was later cremated. To pay her last tributes, people from different fraternities gathered together at the Park. From Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to cricketer Sachin Tendulkar paid their last respect to the legendary singer. B-town celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor also made their presence in Shivaji Park to pay their last respects.
Interestingly, what captured the attention of the Twitteratis is SRK’s gesture while paying last respects has sparked off major controversy on social media. Many have taken to Twitter to strongly condemn SRK’s deplorable act while others rejected the claim and said vested elements are trying to give a ‘poisonous’ twist to it.
Notably, in Islam, spitting holds a major religious and historical significance, especially to ward off ‘evil spirit’ or ‘Satan.’
As per the various Hadiths, spitting in a particular manner can ward off bad dreams, or could even fend off the intrusion of Satan (Shaitaan) himself.
Twitterati slam SRK for ‘disrespect’
