Actor Siddharth tweet has sparked debate following badminton player Saina Nehwal's recent comments in Punjab on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security.

FIR must also be registered. Siddharth's tweet was deemed anti-woman and offensive by the Women's Commission. However, the actor afterward stated that there was nothing disrespectful about it and that it would be improper to interpret it otherwise.

Last week, Nehwal expressed concern about PM Modi's convoy being delayed for 20 minutes on a flyover in Bathinda, Punjab, because the road was blocked by protesting farmers.

Saina 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 anarchists. #BharatStandsWithModi #PMModi

On the same tweet of Saina Nehwal, actor Siddharth tweeted “Subtle cock champion of the world. Thank God we have protectors of India "
