Mahua Moitra: From common individuals, and politicians to filmmakers, a lot of people are coming out and sharing their viewpoints on the poster of Leena Manimekalai’s documentary ‘Kaali’, (Smoking a cigarette in the background of a pride flag), which is also grabbing a lot of eyeballs. On Tuesday, TMC leader Mahua Moitra talked about imagining Kali Devi as a goddess who eats meat and accepts alcohol. Soon after that, the controversy escalated. TMC has issued an explanation on this and further clarified their take.

Defending Leena Manimekalai, Mahua Moitra said, “It is up to you how you take Maa Kali. For me, Mother Kali is a non-vegetarian and alcohol-drinking goddess. I do not have any objection to the poster of this film.”
Moitra’s Explanation
After this tweet of the party, Moitra issued a clarification by posting it on social media. The MP wrote, “To all you sanghis- lying will NOT make you better hindus.
I NEVER backed any film or poster or mentioned the word smoking.
Suggest you visit my Maa Kali in Tarapith to see what food & drink is offered as bhog.
Joy Ma Tara.”
