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.

"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.

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
