Political personalities and known personalities indulging in Twitter debates is not a new thing, but usually these are restricted to short exchanges, seldom turning bitter.
Anupam Kher earlier decided to call the Sahitya Akdemi movement politically motivated to discredit PM Modi, and questioned why no one stood up like this for Kashmiri Pandits and victims of 1984 riots.
Rajdeep Sardesai expressed his opinion on Twitter, inviting a reaction from Kher, and that resulted in an unpleasant Twitter spat.
Would be good to know how many Shiv Sainiks have gone to Kashmir to show solidarity with jawans or attended funerals of soldiers.

— Anupam Kher (@AnupamPkher) October 12, 2015 Rajdeep hit back, but Anupam Kher did not mince his words as he went on.
Insensitive? Just calling the bluff of those who claim to have a monopoly on desh-Bhakti. https://t.co/SebZsSqTyD
