against sonia for durga by people

Wake up Hindus.
New Delhi: Congress workers regard their Chief Sonia Gandhi as Goddess, but in Moradabad, UP, they have embarrassed the party in their devotion.
Congress workers have put Sonia\'s photograph on a poster of Goddess Durga displayed inside a party office in Moradabad. Like Durga, Sonia is shown with several arms and each which is supposed to be a department of the party organisation. Sonia is shown riding a lion, which is meant to represent political power.
A PTI report said A S Soni, the party\'s district President, said the \"work of art\" was made by a painter who hung the \"sample piece\" in the office during the UP Assembly elections in which the party was routed. \"There is no objection to it since it is a work of art,\" Soni told PTI.
Former Congress MP from Moradabad Hafiz Siddique rejected Soni\'s statement and said the poster was unacceptable. \"This picture is objectionable, as we cannot accept Sonia Gandhi in such a portrayal. In fact nobody can accept such things as Congress party is a secular organisation and we are condemning this,\" he said.
Asad Moulaei, the Congress\' chief in Moradabad, said the party had members from different religions, and condemned the portrayal of the leader as a Hindu Goddess. \"No politician must be portrayed as God,\" said former Congress MP Pawan Ghatwar.
The poster is embarrassing for Congress leaders because they had criticised the BJP for a poster depicting Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje as Goddess Annapurna.
The poster, which was designed by a BJP worker, shows former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Lord Vishnu, senior BJP leader L K Advani as Lord Brahma and BJP President Rajnath Singh as Lord Shiva.
