Amid the ongoing controversy over the depiction of Goddess Kali in a film poster, Congress leader and MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Wednesday said the heart and spirit of the country’s culture cannot be trivialised by anybody anywhere, whether in India or abroad.
“I believe that a balance must be maintained in symbols and essence of our faith,” Mr. Singhvi said at a press conference here in Bengaluru.
The Supreme Court’s senior advocate said that “people must be careful when they play with the emotions of people which are reflected in such symbols, culture and faith.” Several political parties and leaders have opposed the poster of the documentary Kali directed by Leena Manimekalai.
