Is your conscience dead? Kirron Kher asks Kanhaiya Kumar on Twitter

New Delhi, March 31: BJP MP Kirron Kher and JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar were engaged in a verbal war on the micro-blogging site Twitter.

Kanhaiya Kumar had allegedly said there was a difference between 1984 anti-Sikh riots and 2002 Gujarat riots, on which the actor-turned-politician Kirron Kher reacted sharply by calling him disgraceful and asked if his conscience was dead.

On Monday, March 28, JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar had compared the alleged onslaught on varsities with Gujarat riots alleging both of them were carried out "with support" from state machinery even as he stressed that there is a fundamental difference between "emergency" and "fascism".

On Tuesday, Kirron Kher, the BJP MP from Chandigarh posted a series of following tweets:

Disgraceful statement by @kanhaiyajnusu that 1984 anti Sikh riots were done by mobs and not state sponsored. 1/3

Here's how Kanhaiya Kumar reacted on Kher's tweets:

हम झंडों का रंग देख कर ज़मीर नहीं जगाते, 84 और 2002 एक, अख़लाक़ भी गलत, नारंग भी ग़लत, बाबरी भी ग़लत, दादरी भी ग़लत https://t.co/Hbs4u8FJsV

Kanhaiya's comments did not go down well even with those who have been his zealous supporters ever since he was arrested in a sedition case, to mark hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
