Kaali Poster Controversy: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has condemned party MP Mahua Moitra's remarks on Goddess Kaali where she called the Hindu deity a "meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess".
"The comments made by @MahuaMoitra at the ch comments," the tweet put out by the official handle of TMC read.
Speaking at the India Today Conclave East 2022 on Tuesday, Mahua Moitra reacted to a controversy over a movie poster showing Goddess Kaali smoking a cigarette.
“Kaali to me is a meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess. You have the freedom to imagine your goddess. There are some places where whiskey is offered to gods and in some other places it would be blasphemy,” Moitra said, while speaking on day 2 of India Today Conclave East 2022.
The Kaali Poster controversy erupted after filmmaker Leena Manimekalai shared the poster of the film on social media. The poster depicts a woman dressed in the costume of Goddess Kaali. She is seen smoking a cigarette in the photo. Along with her usual accoutrements of trishul (trident), and sickle, the actor playing the goddess is shown wielding the LGBTQ+ community's pride flag.
