Days after the Trinamool Congress distanced itself from its party MP Mahua Moitra’s controversial remarks on Kaali, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday broke out her silence on the ongoing controversy on Hindu Goddess Kaali.

People make mistakes but they can be rectified, Banerjee said, a day after Trinamool MP dared the BJP to prove that whatever she said is wrong.

Banerjee said that people make mistakes while working but they can be rectified. Some people don’t see all the good work and suddenly start shouting. Negativity affects our brain cells so let’s think positively, the West Bengal CM said at an event in Kolkata.

Mamata Banerjee’s advice to Mahua Moitra comes at a time when the TMC MP is facing a series of complaints for her comments on Goddess Kaali.

Moitra generated a huge controversy on July 5 at a conclave when she said that she had every right as an individual to imagine goddess Kali as a meat-eating and alcohol-accepting goddess

Her remarks came in response to the latest outrage over a film poster that showed a woman dressed as goddess Kali smoking a cigarette and holding a pride flag.

Speaking on the controversial poster of a documentary film Kaali, Moitra had said that there are many forms of Kali and to her, Kali means a goddess who receives meat and wine.

There was an uproar across the country over her allegedly derogatory remarks on Kali. A case has been registered against Moitra in some cities including MP’s capital Bhopal. There are also growing demands for her arrest.

Distancing itself from Mahua Moitra’s remarks on Kali, the Trinamool Congress condemned the remarks and tweeted that Its MP’s remarks at the India Today Conclave on Kaali have been made in her personal capacity and are not endorsed by the party and in any manner or form.

It is the second time in six months that she has been publicly rebuked by her party leadership.
