Delhi BJP leaders on Thursday filed a complaint with the police against TMC MP Mohua Moitra and Canada-based filmmaker Leena Manime⛎kalai, alleging them of "hurting" sentime♎nts of Hindus.

The complaint receivedꦅ from the BJP leaders at Parliament Street police station was forwarded to ꧟the Cyber Cell of Delhi Police for further action, a senior police officer said.

ౠThe BJP leaders also ꦓdemanded that TMC chief Mamata Banerjee should dismiss Moitra from the party.

"꧙Moitra has hurt s🐭entiments of Hindus by using derogatory language against Goddess Kali," Delhi BJP vice president Rajan Tiwari alleged.

Moitra on Tuesday stirred a controversy with her remarks th🍰at she has every right as "an individual to imagine Goddess Kali as a meat-eating and alcohol-accepting goddess", as every person has the right to wor🌼ship god and goddess in his or her own way.

Manimekalai came to the center of a huge storm over her documentary 'Kaali'. The filmmaker is facing several FIRs follow෴ing outrage over t🌊he poster of “Kaali” showing the goddess smoking and holding an LGBTQ flag.

The way Manimekalai has depicted goddess Kali in a poster has hurt the Hindus, sꦏaid B𝄹JP leaders Harish Khurana and Harihar Raghuvanshi who lodged the complaint on the behalf of the party.
