New Delhi: A major controversy erupted on Monday after Congress leader and Member of Parliament (MP) from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor in his over 43-minute long speech at JNU campus compared the JNUSU president and sedition accused Kanhaiya Kumar to revolutionary Bhagat Singh.

Amid raging controversy, Bollywood actor and BJP MP from Ahmedabad East seat Paresh Rawal took to Twitter to react to the controversy.

"At the cost of repeating myself I must say @shashiTharoor IQ is lower than his shoe size ! (sic)," Paresh Rawal tweeted.
