Haasan 'false twisted' what I said: Swamy on his 'pompous idiot' remark

Celebrated actor Kamal Haasan and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday continued to engage in a war of words on Twitter, with the latter explaining why he took the jibe at the first place.

Swamy posted a series of tweets calling Haasan 'a pompous idiot' again, claiming that he false twists all what he says.

He tweeted, "Kamal Hasan is a pompous idiot because he deliberately falsely twists that I said all Tamils are Porkis and opposed his entry into politics. Porkis cannot argue and reason. They wallow in hard porn, threaten violence and run to hide in the city sewer like Elis."

Amid the political drama that has been plaguing the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and hence, Tamil Nadu, Swamy and Haasan have been taking potshots at each other through Twitter.

The first shot was fired by Swamy when, in his reply to a question from a Twitter user, who asked him if the BJP would consider Kamal Haasan as a prospective leader for Tamil Nadu, he said, "I don't know about BJP but I will oppose this boneless wonder and pompous idiot called Kamal Haasan."

Haasan curtly responded, tweeting, "I have1 bone of contention..Its good enough.Su.Sa called Tamils porikis. Glad I wont have 2 oppose him People will. Wont retort with rudeness. His experience exceeds mine in acidic political exchanges. He might like his meal boneless.I don't.Bon apitit sir.
