Actor Anupam Kher has been very aggressive when it comes to speaking on the matter of Nationalism and once again, he has come out in open and challenged Rahul Gandhi to prove his Indianness by singing the National Anthem of the country.
Not doubting his Indianness but I wish to see Rahul Gandhi sing our National Anthem, want to see if he knows the words or not: Anupam Kher pic.twitter.com/fsv4pTFk5x

Anupam’s support to PM Modi is an open secret now and considering the fact that his wife Kirron Kher is a BJP MP, it is not surprising to see him speaking in support of Narendra Modi.
The challenge was bound to receive responses from Twitteratti as it is a sort of direct attack on the face of India’s oldest political party, Congress.
This challenge has not been taken in a very good spirit by Twitter users and as a result, the actor has been criticized and mocked on Twitter.
Twitterati wants to conduct surgery on Anupam:
I want the rights to conduct surgery on @AnupamPkher just to check if he has brains or not

Earlier, Anupam got trolled when he said that “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” is the “only definition” of nationalism and all other are escape routes.
The only definition of NATIONALISM for Bharatwasis should be "Bharat Mata Ki Jai". Rest all are escape routes.:)

Just to recall, the Supreme Court of India has made it compulsory to play the National Anthem in cinema halls before screening of a movie and it is compulsory for everyone present there to stand up in order to give respect to the National Anthem.
Undoubtedly, the National Anthem should be known to every citizen of the country but is it a parameter of measuring nationalism? What do you say? Let us know your views in the comments section below.
