Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and politician Shashi Tharoor got into brawl of words recently on Twitter. The actor and the politician locked horns after Shashi Tharoor shared an old tweet by Anupam Kher, which the Anupam posted back in 2012. It was a tweet that talked about how a patriot must be ready to defend his country against the government. Now, Shashi Tharoor, years later, in a different context said that he totally agrees with him.
“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” read Anupam Kher’s tweet from 2012 which was a quote by Edward Abbey. Shashi Tharoor shared this tweet of actor, and tweeted “Thanks @AnupamPKher. Agree with you totally here.” He then shared a quote by Mark Twain, which read, “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” Anupam after seeing the tweet by politician, couldn’t hold back and wrote that digging an old tweet is a sign of his unemployment and how far he had fallen.
Anupam Kher tweeted, “प्रिय @ShashiTharoor! आपने मेरे 2012 के ट्वीट को ढूंढकर निकाला, आज उस पर टिप्पणी की। ये न केवल आपकी बेरोज़गारी और दिमाग़ी कंगाली का प्रमाण है।बल्कि आप इंसानी तौर पर कितना गिर चुके हैं इसका भी सबूत है।मेरा ये ट्वीट जिन लोगों के लिए था वह आज भी भ्रष्टाचार का प्रतीक हैं।You Know It.”
Shashi in his reply to Anupam, asked that his tweet was stooping low? He wrote, “Dear @anupamPKher: So my quoting your 2012 tweet is stooping low; what would you say about a Govt that only quotes 1962,1975& 1984? यह भी बेरोज़गारी और दिमाग़ी कंगाली का अंतिम प्रमाण है? मेरा ये ट्वीट जिन लोगों के लिए हैं वह आज भी अपनी नाकामयाबी दिखा रहे हैं भारत के सीमे में.”
Thanks @AnupamPKher. Agree with you totally here. “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” (~Mark Twain) https://t.co/WsSAYvFDSO

. Dear @anupamPKher: So my quoting your 2012 tweet is stooping low; what would you say about a Govt that only quotes 1962,1975& 1984? यह भी बेरोज़गारी और दिमाग़ी कंगाली का अंतिम प्रमाण है? मेरा ये ट्वीट जिन लोगों के लिए हैं वह आज भी अपनी नाकामयाबी दिखा रहे हैं भारत के सीमे में.
