Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina's "unshakable resolve" to fight the menace of terrorism with a zero tolerance approach despite her "being a woman".

"It is heartening that Prime Minister of Bangladesh despite the fact that she is a woman is openly saying that she has zero tolerance for terrorism. I would like to congratulate Sheikh Hasina for her firmness to deal with the menace," the PM said while delivering a lecture at Dhaka University.

Even though Modi made the remark in praise of Sheikh Hasina, Twitteratti interpreted it as an insult to women around the world.

Finally some who insults Sheik Hasina right on her face and on Bangladeshi soil:yahoo::cheers:
 
Modi has indeed become the biggest leader of Asia. His each and every comment creates a new hashtag on twitter and countless threads in this forum.
 
Twitter users went into a frenzy early on Monday as Modi's comments were picked up by local media, with many taking pot-shots at the Indian leader's remark.

"ok. off to work. after cooking sending kid to school to write big story and run errands. like every other woman i know [HASHTAG]#despitebeingawoman[/HASHTAG]," tweeted Gayatri Jayaraman, senior editor ‏at India Today.

Lol this Govt from top to central ministers has habit of putting there foot in mouth disease. totally unwarranted to mention that she is a woman and has zero tolerance for terrorism. does it means only men as head of govt has zero tolerance
 
Its like that removing gender discrimination has become a tough task for South Asians

Though I don't agree with you but they need to be a little more cautious

Fully agreed. It reflects a very nasty mindset.

This has been happening very frequently since past few weeks, since media is very crazy they are going to highlight all such flip-flops agressively
