India, Oct. 24 -- Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Mahua Moitra faced backlash for her "agreed" comment comment on an X post that made racial attacks on Indians for Diwali celebrations in Western countries. The firebrand Trinamool Congress leader has now clarified that she posted the comment by mistake as the comment was meant for a different post.

"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. Travelling & didn't check till now. Thanks @RShivshankar for calling me out but was a genuine mistake. Sorry trolls ," she wrote on X, referring to journalist Rahul Shivshankar who shared a screenshot of the comment.

Shivshankar later reposted...
