Sonu Niigaams Tribute To 26/11


The Mumbai Police has grand plans to hold a day-long commemoration on the first anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks, but the Home Ministry may force them to tone down some of the events.

The grand event – which is the brainchild of Commissioner of Police D Sivanandhan and is being organised by Lintas Events – will be held at the Gateway of India on November 26. Celebrities and citizens, including school and college children, will take part in a series of cultural events to pay homage to those who lost their lives in last year’s terror attacks.

While the intentions are very noble, sources say the Home Department – which has seen some well-intentioned events post-26/11 backfire – is jittery. It is mulling over certain changes to tone down the pomp before giving its go ahead.

“Such programmes are always welcome and cannot be discouraged. However, the department is considering some changes, but the modalities have not yet been decided,” said an official from the ministry.

Additional Chief Secretary Chandra Iyenger told Mumbai Mirror, “Any decision on the event can only be taken after the government is formed.”

What police have in store

According to Sivanandhan and Lintas officials, the ceremony they have planned is divided into two parts: a day-long event involving students and an evening ceremony with celebrities, politicians and citizens.

School and college students will participate in activities such as painting, singing, etc. They will perform skits on security and police action during the attacks, and will showcase security upgrades. Events will be punctuated with prayer songs performed by school kids.

“The theme of the event is Abhedya Mumbai – an effort to show that if we all stand together, we cannot be defeated. That is why everyone from school children to celebrities and politicians is being engaged.

“The evening event will be graced by people like Amitabh Bachchan, Sonu Niigaam, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale . Home Minister P Chidambaram, the CM and DCM will also be there,” said Sivanandhan.

Lintas officials added that the evening event will be characterised by people expressing their views on security.

“These expressions can be in any form: singing, painting or anything else. Media personnel, policemen who fought during 26/11 and even ordinary citizens will be allowed to speak on security. The idea is to come together on the issue of security, to start believing in each other and having a sense of collective responsibility,” said Sujit Nair, president of Lintas Events.
