Kamra

got into a Twitter spat with the father of a boy who sang the patriotic song 'Hey Janmabhoomi Bharat' to greet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his recent visit to Berlin.

Tagging Kamra's now deleted tweet, Ganesh wrote on his Twitter, "He is my 7 year old son, who wanted to sing this song for his beloved

Motherland

. Though he is still very young but certainly he loves his country more than you Mr. Kamra or Kachra watever u are Keep the poor boy out of your filthy politics & try to work on your poor jokes (sic)."

Mincing no words, Kamra replied to the tweet saying, "The video is in the public domain by a news Organisation. The joke is not on your son, while you enjoy your son sing for his motherland to the most popular son, there are songs that he should listen to from people of his country also (sic)."

also sought immediate removal of the video after which Kamra deleted his tweet.
