Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Thursday said Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra’s remarks on Goddess Kali, a day after his party termed Devi Kali as “personal opinion”, said, “Whatever I tweet is my personal opinion”. ” Without making any mention, Tharoor tweeted, “Two points: 1. Everything I tweet is my personal opinion. I have no other type. 2. ‘Those who stand for nothing, they don’t stand for anything. Even fall for anything.’ -Alexander Hamilton.”
Moitra had courted controversy on Tuesday with her remark that she “has every right to conceive of Goddess Kali as a person who eats meat and accepts alcohol”, as each person has his own personality. Right to worship God and Goddess. own way.
While the BJP strongly criticized Moitra and his party Trinamool Congress distanced itself from the remarks and condemned it, Tharoor said he was “shocked by the attack on Moitra” and urged everyone “to practice privately”. Urged individuals to lighten up and leave religion”.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Tharoor said, “I am no stranger to maliciously constructed controversy, but still stunned by the attack on @MahuaMoitra for saying what every Hindu knows, that in our worship. Forms vary widely across the country. The bhog (offering) that devotees offer says more about the goddess than about them”.
“We have reached a point where no one can publicly say anything about any aspect of religion without claiming to be offended. It is clear that @MahuaMoitra is not trying to offend anyone. I urge every 1 to be light and leave religion to individuals. Practice privately,” he said. When asked about Tharoor’s post, Congress Communications Department chief Pawan Khera said the party’s stand that these comments are Tharoor’s “personal opinion”.
Responding to a post criticizing him for his remarks and accusing him of “selective politics”, Tharoor also ticked off the man saying, “If you are a Hindu insulting the Prophet of Islam Can’t tell the difference between a Hindu woman describing a woman and a Hindu woman. The way devotion is expressed towards a Hindu goddess, I fear you are beyond redemption”.
