CM Mamata says 'mistakes can be rectified' as Mahua Moitra faces FIR over 'Kaali' remark

At a time when Trinamool Congress' Mahua Moitra is facing backlash and a number of complaints over her remark on film 'Kaali', party supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that 'people make mistakes but y can be rectified'. While dressing a students' credit card distribution drive on July 7, CM Banerjee, purportedly hinting at key opposition in state, Bharatiya Janata Party, also said that some people do not see 'good work' and suddenly start 'shouting'. 

row began after Toronto-based filmmaker Leena Manimekalai released a poster of her film - Kaali. In poster, Hindu Goddess can be seen smoking. When TMC leer, belonging to West Bengal, was asked to comment on poster, she said, "Kali to me is a meat-eating... alcohol-accepting Goddess. To me, that is Kaali." 

Mamata Banerjee's cryptic statement amid 'Kaali' controversy

"Negativity affects our brain cells so let's think positively," CM Banerjee said even as TMC has distanced itself from remark of Mahua Moitra on 'Kaali'. In a tweet, TMC said '' comments me by Moitra and her views expressed on Goddess Kaali have been me in her personal capacity and are not endorsed by party in any manner or form. All India Trinamool Congress strongly condemns such comments."

reafter, TMC's Man Mitra highlighted that re was a need for people to 'grow mentally' and said that he goes to Kalibari in Washington that 'does not believe in sacrifices'. Mitra also said that he can give examples of 'over 1 crore Kalibaris' where no goat is sacrificed. 

Also, Sougata Roy, veteran TMC leer, said that onus is on Moitra and not on party to take care of FIRs. Reflecting on urge to take action against her by party, he said, "Until BJP takes action on Nupur Sharma for her comments, y have no right to speak about anything else."
