Political parties condemn Gandhi look-alike as Asura in Kolkata puja pandal

A Durga idol in Kolkata in which the Mahisasura (Buffalo demon) was allegedly replaced by a crudely crafted Mahatma Gandhi-look alike has created controversy on Sunday, the birth anniversary of the father of the nation.

A journalist tweeted a purported photograph of the Durga idol, before deleting the post claiming that the police asked him to do so as it might create tension during the festival.
