Mallika Sarabhai, social activist, dancer and daughter of renowned Bharat Natyam exponent Mrinalini Sarabhai, has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not paying tribute to her mother who died on Thursday.
Mallika Sarabhai took to Facebook to ask why Modi, who belongs to Gujarat, had not bothered to condole the death of her 97-year-old mother.
As an activist, Mallika Sarabhai continuously attacked the then Gujarat chief minister Modi for the 2002 communal riots in the state.
Mrinalini Sarabhai was a Padma Bhushan awardee. She founded Darpana Academy of Performing Arts, an institute for imparting training in dance, drama, music and puppetry.
