Poet-lyricist Prasoon Joshi has written a special song for the occasion.
"Modiji is a very big fan of Lataji's voice. She represents the collective voice of the Indian nation. Honoring her is to honor the daughter of the nation and that's what we will officially designate her on her 90th birthday," an informed source from the government said.
