An FIR has also been registered against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra for hurting religious sentiments by her remarks on Devi, amid controversy over the poster of Leena Manimekalai’s documentary ‘Kaali’. During a TV debate on the news channel Aaj Tak, political analyst Sangeet Ragi called SP spokesperson Anurag Bhadauria a badass child.
Sangeet Ragi said that the statement made by Akhilesh Yadav was with reference to Kashi Vishwanath and Gyanvapi temple. On this Anurag Bhadauria said that who got the temples of Kashi demolished? Who got more than 100 temples demolished? Who started the bulldozer in Kashi? Speaking on this, Sangeet Ragi said that Anurag, you are behaving like a badass child. To which Anurag Bhadauria said that you behave like a good teacher.
Hindu faith has always been attacked: During the debate, Sangeet Ragi said, “Akhilesh Yadav made fun of Hinduism, said in a sarcastic manner that here God comes out wherever you put a stone.” He said that the truth is that Hindu faith has always been attacked in this country. Hindus have always been put in the dock. On which the SP spokesperson said that your government releases the accused.
On the other hand, when asked about Mahua Moitra standing by her statement and refusing to apologise, TMC spokesperson Manojit Mandal said, “The party is paying attention to her and will definitely work on it and work on time. This is our matter but why is BJP interfering in this?”
Actually, TMC MP had made controversial remarks about Maa Kali. Mahua Moitra had said, “It is up to you in what form you take Maa Kali. For me, Mother Kali is a non-vegetarian and alcohol-drinking goddess. I have no objection to the poster of this film.” After this, cases have been registered against him in many states. The BJP is demanding Moitra’s arrest.
