Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has unfollowed the official Twitter handle of the TMC after her party distanced itself from her comments on goddess Kaali. She was answering a question on the row over a poster depicting an actor dressed up as the Goddess smoking a cigarette.
The Delhi and Uttar Pradesh police registered FIRs against filmmaker Leena Manimekalai on Tuesday for allegedly hurting religious sentiment with her new documentary film’s poster.
The poster of the film, ‘Kaali’, which documents a performance act, portrays Manimekalai dressed up as the goddess Kali while holding an LGBTQ+ pride flag in one hand and smoking a cigarette.
