Broadcasting a pop icon image Rihanna, posing as “toples” for a lingerie ad, with a pendant of GaneshIndia’s most popular deity has sparked controversy in the country and angered government officials.

“It’s shocking to see Rihanna shamefully mock our beloved Hindu god Ganesha“Said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In the same sense, he manifested Ram kadam, a member of parliament from the nationalist party Bharatiya Janata (BJP), who posted expressed his anger through social media: “It is scandalous to see Rihanna shamefully mock our beloved God Ganesh.” “This shows that he does not respect Indian culture and traditions“he added.

The Hindu World Council, a body that supports the management of the Nationalist Party, said it had made a request to Twitter and Facebook to remove the image of Rihanna and act against your accounts.

The image of the singer, who has 100 million followers on Twitter and 91.4 million on Instagram, was released a few weeks after she shocked the government for defending farmers protesting against land reforms.

In this regard, the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized in early February Rihanna, among other celebrities, for the “sensationalist” interference in the country’s agricultural reform, after she and Greta Thunberg broadcast the farmers’ protests on social media.

“Why aren’t we talking about this? #FarmersProtest,” the pop star wrote, sharing a CNN report on internet outages in Delhi during farmers’ protests last week.
