Scared to say I'm a Hindu in India: Tharoor, Kher spar on Twitter

It all started with with Anupam "Padma Bhushan" Kher telling Bhupendra Chaubey (remember him from the infamous Sunny Leone interview) that "I'm scared today to say openly that I'm a Hindu in India".

Senior Congress member and MP Shashi Tharoor took to the micro-blogging site to voice his opinion about the same:

The Bollywood actor Kher who has been in the news a lot, although, for completely non-film reasons took offence to Tharoor's tweet and said this:

Tharoor had to remind Kher that he is a senior member of Parliament for the Congress party and not a "Congi chamcha" as Kher had proclaimed:

Kher retorted:

And the debate rages on.

Kher, who has quite often been called as the "acting prime minister of India", amongst a host of other things, has been on the recieving end of a lot of jokes on social media. Seems like he has given the Twitteratti one more reason to laugh.

Tharoor 1-0 Kher. What do you think?
