India and Pakistan never agree on any one thing, but there was such an effect in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice, on which both the enemy countries also spoke in the same tone. Today, if Lataji is not among us, then the eyes of 125 crore Indians are moist, then there is mourning in Pakistan too. Many great artists were born in the world of music. But Lata Mangeshkar was different and special than them. Hearing him, it seemed as if Mother Saraswati was sitting in his throat.
Lata ji’s voice was such a comfort that it was very cool to hear. It is said that a letter was given to All India Radio. In this letter it was said about Lata Mangeshkar that India should keep Kashmir, but Lata Mangeshkar should be given to Pakistan.
Not only the general public, but many veteran singers were also involved in the fans of Lata Mangeshkar. It can be clearly understood from these things that how much Lata Mangeshkar’s Pakistan fans were and how important she was to the Pakistani people. Even after living in India, she used to be the life of Pakistani people.
Today, when Lata ji is not with us, the effect of her melodious voice is visible in the official response that has come from Pakistan. Pakistani Information and Broadcasting Minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, who has often made headlines in Pakistani politics for all the wrong reasons, wrote on Twitter, paying tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, “Not a famous personality anymore, Lata Mangeshkar was the queen of melodious voices, who brought the world of music”. But ruled for decades, she was the uncrowned queen of music, her voice will continue to rule the hearts of people in all times to come. Tribute to Lata Mangeshkar.
There was so much power in the voice of this great singer that even the voice of the country threatening atomic bombs was dimmed. This is not a matter of one day. When the country was partitioned, Lata didi’s songs gave comfort to Indians, while Pakistanis also used to throng to listen to it. If any question arose in Pakistan on the creation of Pakistan by Mohammad Ali Jinnah, it was only because of this decision that it had to be lost to Lata Mangeshkar.

The name of legendary singer Noor Jahan is also included in the list of veteran singers who want Lata Mangeshkar. Once, while talking about Lata Mangeshkar, Noor Jahan said, “She admires me. But Lata Mangeshkar is one, no one has ever been born like her.”
Lata Mangeshkar was that person in the music industry, whose lack can never be filled. Lata Mangeshkar is no more with us, but hopefully her evergreen songs will keep Do Mulk Ki Door together.
