An article by Bibek Debroy, chairman of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Economic Advisory Committee and famous writer, was published in The Week. An extremely objectionable picture of Deity Shiva and Goddess Kali was published in a spiritual article titled ‘The Fire Has Seven Tongues and One of These is Maa Kali’. Upon learning this, Debroy was distraught and announced his resignation as a columnist for the magazine on 4th August through a tweet.

This article was published on 24th July and while going through the relevant link on The Week’s website, it was found that the picture of Goddess Kali was changed on 4th August.

Speaking in this regard, Debroy said, ‘Instead of printing such a picture, many good pictures of Goddess Kali could have been published. My permission was not obtained for the published image.

Although this is an attempt by ‘The Week’ to gain cheap popularity through such pictures, it has also provoked people’s emotions. Due to this, a question arises about the ethics of The Week. It takes time to build trust, but such an act breaks the trust. I am resigning as a columnist in The Week’.
