“Yeah, I’m not sure what he meant. I liked him as an actor, but this was not fun. He can express himself in better words, but I think it’s Twitter and you keep getting noticed with such words and comments,” Saina, who is also a BJP member, said in a statement.
“If the security of the Prime Minister of India is an issue, I am not sure what is safe in the country,” she added. Commenting on Modi’s security breach during his visit to Punjab, Saina tweeted: “No country can claim to be safe if the security of its own Prime Minister is compromised. I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the cowardly attack on Prime Minister Modi by anarchists.”
In response, Siddharth had tweeted: “Subtle cock champion of the world. Thank God we have protectors of India (sic).” The NCW, led by Rekha Sharma, said it had taken note of the matter.
“@NCWIndia has taken note. Chairman @sharmarekha has written @DGPMaharashtra for investigating and registering FIR in this matter. NCW has also written to @TwitterIndia for blocking the actor’s account and for taking appropriate action against him for posting such comments.
After strong criticism on social media for the tweet, Siddharth said that “nothing disrespectful was intended”. “’COCK & BULL’ That’s the reference. Reading otherwise is unfair and leading! Nothing disrespectful was intended, said or insinuated. Period,” he tweeted.
