Popular singer-musician Sona Mohapatra has sparked outrage in Odisha after threatening to go 바카라full naked바카라 in response to mounting criticism for allegedly distorting a devotional song written by 17th-century saint-poet Bhakta Salabega.
The issue also took political colours with the opposition Congress taking potshots at chief minister Naveen Patnaik바카라s alleged 바카라mispronunciation바카라 of Odia words, the same charge against Mohapatra in her rendition of 'Aahe Nila Shaila', a bhajan in praise of Lord Vishnu.
Social media users said the song was a distorted version of the original, written by the most famous Muslim devotee of Lord Jagannath, an avatar of Vishnu.
Angry Odias said the singer has 바카라horribly mispronounced바카라 nearly a dozen words, including the poet바카라s name, in the four-and-a-half-minute song and has also offended Odia sensibilities by 바카라killing the very soul바카라 of the devotional ditty with her 바카라rather coarse바카라 rendition. Some have also found fault with her attire, saying it was completely inappropriate for the religious song.
바카라Dear losers who are yet burning up about my foreign accent & mispronunciation of some words in an earnest enough rendition of Nila Saila, please do note that YOUR Odiya 바카라accent바카라 while talking or singing English & Hindi, let alone your grammar & spelling skills could offend many (sic),바카라 Mohapatra tweeted.
In an earlier post responding to a critical tweet, she said: 바카라Oye, shut up you & your lot of illiterates. Have had enough of you & your moronic vomit on my timeline all of the last few days. I바카라ll go full naked with higher 바카라hills바카라 & show you Chandis true colours if you don바카라t shut up. She doesn바카라t wear clothes btw. (sic)바카라
Chandi is a reference to Hindu goddess Kali, who is often depicted naked and is known for her anger.
Mohapatra, 42, has around 1.5 lakh followers on Twitter and constantly engages with her followers.
Outrage over the affront to Odia sensibilities spilled over from the streets to the media, both mainstream and social, since she uploaded the video of a stage performance in Mumbai in 2017, where she sang the song, on YouTube on Monday.
An FIR has been lodged after a right-wing group filed a police complaint and her effigy was burnt in Puri. Reams of newsprint have been consumed and heated debates aired on local TV channels on the controversy.
Mohapatra, a BTech and an MBA, had earlier courted controversy in 2015 when she sang a modern version of an iconic Odia folk song 바카라Rangaboti바카라 in MTV바카라s Coke Studio.
While most people have condemned Mohapatra for her indiscretions in the latest song, a few have put up a spirited defence on her behalf, pointing to the distasteful and sexist comments made on her attire and body language.
바카라When non-Odia singers starting from Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar to Anuradha Paudwal, Udit Narayan and Babul Supriyo can render Odia songs with perfect diction and pronunciation, how can someone who spent the better part of her early life in Odisha commit such horrendous mispronunciations?바카라 asks Parikshit Rout, a middle-aged resident of Bhubaneswar, the state capital.
The Congress sought to use the controversy as it ridiculed Naveen Patnaik for his failure to speak Odia even after 18 years and his 바카라horrible mispronunciations바카라 whenever he reads out a speech in Odia written down in the Roman script.
바카라Why has no one filed an FIR against the CM?바카라 asked Congress leader Niranjan Patnaik, the newly-appointed PCC chief.
