Hindu Groups Express Anger On Kamala Harris' Niece
By: Tupaki Desk | 21 Oct 2020 1:32 PM IST
A photo of Kamala Harris reimagined as Goddess Durga Devi, has gone viral on social media. This has drawn sharp criticism from Hindu communities.
Meena Harris, 35, niece of Kamala Harris, a lawyer and co-founder of Phenomenal Women Action Campaign, shared the photo on her Twitter account in which Kamala Harris can be seen as Goddess Durga and appears to be stabbing the US President Donald Trump, who is portrayed as the monster Mahishasur.
Most of the netizens were not happy about the morphed image of the Goddess and they slammed Meena for hurting religious sentiments. Following the social media outrage, Meena deleted her tweet and even blocked several of the users who criticised her.
"Dear Meena Harris, by now you know that your tweeting a caricature of the feminine divine, Maa Durga, with faces superimposed, deeply aggrieved many Hindus globally," Suhag A Shukla, executive director of the Hindu American Foundation said.
Rishi Bhutada, a member of the Hindu American Political Action Committee, on the other hand, reacted to the controversy by saying that the photo was not actually created by Meena Harris. She posted the photo on her Twitter account, which is widely circulated on WhatsApp. Rishi demanded an apology from Meena Harris.
