Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Ashoke Pandit had a verbal fight on Twitter after the latter alleged the former for spreading lies against Modi followers and photoshopping a Twitter handle.
It so happened that Anurag Kashyap asked Narendra Modi how to deal with his followers who threaten his daughter on Instagram. Anurag took to Twitter and shared the snapshot of the threatening comment his daughter received from a Modi follower on Instagram. Along with the snapshot, he wrote-
“Dear @narendramodi sir. Congratulations on your victory and thank you for the message of inclusiveness. Sir please also tell us how do we deal with these followers of yours who celebrate your victory by threatening my daughter with messages like this for me being your dissenter.”

An angry Ashoke Pandit alleged Anurag for lying and photoshopping the comment. He wrote, “This twitter handle seems to be photoshopped because it doesn’t exist. Seems to be created by an #UrbanNaxal to give an opportunity to somebody to abuse #Modi when the entire World is happy.”

That escalated further as Ashoke Pandit tried to shut him down and also suggested him to lodge a complaint with the police if anything like this has happened. Ashoke wrote, “Mind your language Mr. Kashyap. Read my very next tweet on the thread – https://twitter.com/ashokepandit/status/1131627083669446658?s=21 …
Let’s file a complaint with the police and get him arrested than asking the PM what to do. I am sure you know that law enforcing agencies exist in this country of ours.”
