Summary: A major political controversy has erupted around Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra after she backed a Canadian vlogger's social media post that disparaged the festival of Diwali and called Indians 'brain dead'. Moitra stated her clarification was: 'just clarifying, my Twitter feed was showing a lot of videos and I meant to say I agree to a video just below the racist one by some Nate, my mistake, traveling and didn't check till now.' The incident drew sharp condemnation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which accused the MP of displaying 'anti-India and anti-Hindu sentiment'. Faced with significant public and political backlash, Moitra later issued the apology, claiming she had reposted the offensive content by mistake while travelling and had not checked her feed properly. The TMC MP said she had intended to endorse a different video.
