Shashi Tharoor was also criticised for his remark, and Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak claimed that what Shashi Tharoor said was not the party's position.
Digital Desk: Shashi Tharoor, the leader of the Congress, stated on Thursday that everything he tweets is his personal opinion, a day after the Congress appeared to distance itself from what the Thiruvananthapuram MP said regarding the backlash his Trinamool MP colleague is experiencing as a result of her comment on the Hindu goddess Kaali. On Twitter, Tharoor said that he had no other opinions except from his own. According to Tharoor's quotation from Alexander Hamilton, "Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything."

Mahua Moitra received support from Shashi Tharoor, who claimed that Mahua Moitra was being targeted for saying something that every Hindu knows, at the same time that Trinamool Congress openly criticised Mahua Moitra for asserting that Kaali is a "meat-loving and liquor-accepting" goddess. According to Tharoor, what worshippers present to the goddess as bhog tells more about them than it does about her.
Shashi Tharoor was also criticised for his remark, and Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak claimed that what Shashi Tharoor said was not the party's position. "The Congress party has made it plain that it agrees with Gandhiji that a person's relationship to religion is a matter of personal faith. However, we must also take care to avoid doing anything that would offend someone who practises a different religion. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure that, "She spoke.
Amit Malviya of the BJP criticised Shashi Tharoor and asked Congress President Sonia Gandhi for a remark on the matter. Amit Malviya criticised Tharoor's remarks regarding the controversy and questioned why "secularists" exclusively choose to apply their viewpoints to Hindus and their deities. "Because of Mamata Banerjee's policies, which are rooted in blatant appeasement of minorities, her MP made that overtly offensive remark about Maa Kaali. She must be fired from TMC, and a FIR must be filed with WB police. After Shashi Tharoor's backing, Sonia Gandhi must also clarify the position of the Congress on the matter " he tweeted.
There was a lot of back and forth on Twitter between the Congressman and TV Mohandas Pai, the chairman of Manipal Global Education, who called Tharoor a "huge hypocrite" and claimed Tharoor was no stranger to "malicious contrived controversy." "Did you back the Nupur FOE? Although you may not agree, like many others, her life is in danger and you remain silent, therefore stand for ideals rather than this political slant "In a letter, Mohandas Pai criticises Tharoor.
In response, Tharoor responded, "Dear @TVMohandasPai, if you can't distinguish the difference between a Hindu woman criticising the Prophet of Islam and a Hindu woman expressing ways in which devotion is conveyed to a Hindu goddess, then I'm afraid you're beyond redemption.
