Bollywood actor Anupam Kher's recent tweet has stirred up the controversy on which he is receiving flak from the Punjab Congress leaders. Kher in a tweet on Wednesday has used Guru Gobind Singh Ji's wording to describe BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra. He said, "सवा लाख से एक भिडा दूँ !:)" @sambitswaraj.
Reportedly the tweet came in response to the Patra's tweet where a child can be seen sitting on his grandfather--who was shot dead in Kashmir on Wednesday--with the caption: “PULITZER LOVERS ??”
However, Patra was severely criticized for being apathetic by several celebrities and the people of India.But, this didn't go well with the Sikh community and the Punjab Congress leaders. Anupam Kher received flak for using Guru Gobind Singh's sacred wording to describe Sambit Patra.

Congress MP Ravneet Bittu has alleged Kher was using RSS ideology to dilute the "strong tenets of Sikhism."
He tweeted, "How dare @AnupamPKher use sacred words of Guru Gobind Singh ji to describe the spokesperson of BJP. It spoils the martial image of Sikhs. It is a bid of RSS to dilute strong tenets of Sikhism. PM Modi should tender an immediate apology and kick out Kher and his wife from bjp.”
Another Congress legislator Raja Warring has questioned Kher, who gave him the authority to mold sacred wordings of a Guru?
However, Anupam Kher has apologized for the same on twitter but Congress is not ready to settle with this.
