A day after filmmaker Anurag Kashyap questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter as to why he hasn’t apologised for meeting his Pakistani counterpart when Karan Johar was shooting for ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju took to Twitter to slam Kashyap, indirectly.
The Minister tweeted:
A new fashion has developed in India. A student or a film person can put a question or speak against PM without any logic to get into news.

On Sunday, Kashyap has posted this tweet:
@narendramodi Sir you haven’t yet said sorry for your trip to meet the Pakistani PM.. It was dec 25th. Same time KJo was shooting ADHM? Why?
