Now, Siddharth has gone on to delete his tweets out of respect to women and survivors stating they fail to communicate what he feels owing to him needing more words to clarify them .

He then added there is no need for muddled statements from men like him at this stage while concluding with an apology saying the MeToo movement is more important.
