Sadhguru to Chinmayi Sripaada, Siddharth’s ‘subtle cock’ comment against Saina Nehwal condemned
India Today
Siddharth has been receiving flak over his ‘subtle cock’ comment against Saina Nehwal. Public figures such as Sadhguru, Chinmayi Sripaada and Suresh Raina, among others, have called out the actor for his derogatory remark.
Siddharth has been facing massive criticism following his comment on Saina Nehwal’s tweet about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security breach in Punjab. Netizens have pointed out the ‘subtle’ sexual innuendo in his tweet, which reads, “Subtle cock champion of the world (sic).” Many public figures such as Sadhguru, Chinmayi Sripaada and Suresh Raina, among others, have condemned Siddharth’s remark. Subtle cock champion of the world... Thank God we have protectors of India.Shame on you #Rihanna https://t.co/FpIJjl1Gxz #SainaNehwal is Nation's pride. Most distasteful and disgusting, where are we taking public discourse -Sg That's OK - You can call out Saina or anyone else when / if you disagree with them without including a misogynistic, sexually colored comment. Sportspersons give their sweat and blood for their nation. To see such loose language being used against our pride and sports icon @NSaina is sad. As an Indian sportsperson and as a human being, I stand with Saina and condemn the disgusting language in the tweet. https://t.co/mMln20Lr9E Saina Nehwal is our country’s sporting pride, she has as much right to a political opinion as rest of the nation. You disagree-you debate, you don’t ever demean even if you strongly opposed to her thoughts and ideas. This illiberal approach to ‘liberal discourse’ is damaging. Sid you are a friend but definitely wasn't expecting this from you. It's very crass. I am sure Uncle n Aunty wouldn't be proud of you. Don't get carried with your hatred towards an individual. https://t.co/0NjR4NWMuZ Siddharth thinks Saina is Rihanna? Or is he under a delusion that Rihanna is the protector of India? Or does he think that the PM should have been attacked? I think he has a troubled mind and needs help. https://t.co/9BKYqRaAMM
