Reacting to Modi’s security breach for which the PM’s convoy remained on a flyover for around 20 minutes, Saina had tweeted, “No nation can claim itself to be safe if the security of its own PM gets compromised. I condemn, in the strongest words possible, the cowardly attack on PM Modi by anachists. #BharatStandsWithModi #PMModi (sic).”
In response to this, Siddharth had tweeted, “Subtle cock champion of the world…Thank God we have protectors of India (sic)”.

However, following strong criticism on social media for the tweet, Siddharth on Monday 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.
