Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, is quite often on foreign tours and during these tours, he says something objectionable which is not acceptable on the part of Indians and every time any such thing happens, he is ridiculed and made fun of, especially on Twitter. This time also when Modi has been on a trip to Bangladesh, he made some remark which Indians just could not tolerate and as a result, Modi has become the highlight of Twitter once again.
Now the question arises what was the controversial statement that flooded Twitter for the day, so let us tell you that Modi just complimented Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister, saying she coped up with terrorist situation very brilliantly “Despite Being A Woman” and ever since, there is an outburst of #DespiteBeingAWoman on Twitter. Twitterians express their rage as well as poke fun at Modi for making such a sexist remark despite being the Prime Minister of a country which is unexpected on his part.
Let’s check out what Twitterians tweeted in this connection:
