New Delhi: Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday engaged in war of words over thoughts on being Hindu.
Reacting to Kher's recent statement wherein he had said that he is scared today to say openly that he's a Hindu, Tharoor took to Twitter and wrote, “Come on Anupam. I say it all the time. I'm a proud Hindu. Just not the Sangh's kind of Hindu.”

To this Kher replied, “Come on Shashi. Never thought you will misinterpret my statement like trolls do. And behave like a Congi Chamcha.”

However, the term seem to have not gone down well with Tharoor, who then wrote, “Abuse, is what you use when you run out of arguments. I'm a proud MP of Congress and I don't resort to insults.”
. Abuse, @AnupamPkher , is what you use when you run out of arguments. I'm a proud MP of @INCIndia &I don't resort to insults. #CongiChamcha

Here's how Kher responded:
Sadly, you forgot that you brought in your Kind of Hindu & Sanghi Hindu first. You want to categorize that also? https://t.co/I1aBObn5BY
