Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah has slammed Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi over his statement that western rejects like Sunny Leone shouldn't be allowed to epitomise Indian culture.

"I thought this was a fake handle but seems not. What the hell possessed him to tweet this???" Omar said on Twitter.

Singhvi had earlier in the day tweeted his disapproval over Leone acquiring the status of a Bollywood icon.

"V shd be careful that western rejects like sunny leone are not allowed to epitomise indian culture or acquire the status of a Bollywood icon," he said.
