Kaali poster row: Defiant Leena Manimekalai shares another post amid outrage. Check out!

Filmmaker Leena Manimekalai, who stoked controversy by sharing a poster of her documentary film ‘Kaali’ which shows the goddess smoking a cigarette, has shared a fresh post in her defence. 

The Toronto-based director is facing separate FIRs in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.

Leena received a barrage of condemnation from the netizens for hurting the religious sentiments, and they demanded her arrest.

Meanwhile, TMC MP Mahua Moitra also stirred up a controversy with her remarks at a conclave hosted by a media house.

"Within Hinduism, being a Kali worshipper I have the freedom to imagine my Kali in that way... that is my freedom and I don't think anyone's sentiments should be hurt. I have the freedom... as much as you have to worship your god," she had said.

For me, Goddess Kali is a meat-eating and alcohol-accepting goddess, she said.

An FIR has been filed against Mahua for her remarks and responding to this. (Inputs from UNI)
