A fresh controversy has erupted over Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra after she appeared to endorse a social media post that used racist and derogatory language against Indians celebrating Diwali overseas. The post, which described Indians as "braindead" and their Diwali festivities as "retarded garbage," triggered outrage online and strong condemnation from the BJP.
Moitra replied "I agree" to an inflammatory post on X (formerly Twitter) made by an unidentified user named "Nate." The post read:
"Just like that, we’ve let braindead fu***ng Indians turn our beautiful Western countries into total shi*holes with their retarded Diwali garbage that has zero to do with us."
Within hours, screenshots of Moitra’s apparent endorsement began circulating widely, prompting accusations of "anti-India" and "anti-Hindu" bias.
The BJP’s West Bengal unit issued a sharply worded statement accusing Moitra of "repeatedly insulting Indian culture and Hindus."
