Treasury benches said the Trinamool MP was behaving as if she was a member of the Bengal assembly | (file photo) Not one to mince words, Trinamool Congress’ Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra recently waded into a major controversy over Goddess Kali by opining that she sees the deity as a “meat-eating, alcohol-accepting goddess.” Her statement invited widespread condemnation from the Hindutva brigade and believers with multiple FIRs being filed against her across the country. But Moitra has stood unwavered by alleged threats and criticisms, daring the BJP to “bring it on.” “Bring it on BJP! Am a Kali worshipper. I am not afraid of anything. Not your ignoramuses. Not your goons. Not your police. And most certainly not your trolls. Truth doesn’t need back up forces,” she said in a tweet.

Premium Newsmaker | Mahua Moitra: She soared with fiery speeches, now under fire over one While it was precisely her fiery oratory and articulation that fuelled Moitra's meteoric rise in the TMC after she joined it in 2010 – with the party looking for faces to represent it in the national capital – her star has been on the decline. Facing an FIR and several police cases across the country over her remarks on a controversy over a film poster featuring Goddess Kaali, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra was on Wednesday defiant, tweeting: “Jai Ma Kali! The goddess Bengalis worship is fearless & non-appeasing.” While her remarks were endorsed by a large number of the TMC’s young social media volunteers, Moitra may find the support dry up soon. With its vigorous invocation of Bengali sub-nationalism at odds with its plans to expand in other regions, the TMC was quick to officially distance itself from Moitra’s remarks, made at the India Today Conclave East. It also issued a strong censure of the first-time MP. Jai Ma Kali! The goddess Bengalis worship is fearless & non-appeasing. — “Moitra should realise that as a public representative, the world is not her oyster. Exercising a degree of restraint is also necessary in these fraught times, notwithstanding our personal beliefs,” said a Trinamool MP, on the condition of anonymity. While it was precisely her fiery oratory and articulation that fuelled Moitra’s meteoric rise in the TMC after she joined it in 2010 – with the party loo...
