PM Modi Made Sexist Remark “Despite Being A Woman”, And Twitter Had The Perfect Response

On June 8, during his Bangladesh visit, Narendra Modi, praised Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh, stating that she is courageous to fight terrorism “despite being a woman.”

This is what the Indian Prime Minister exactly said.

“We know solution for everything, but not terrorism. I am happy that Bangladesh Prime Minister, despite being a woman, has declared zero tolerance for terrorism”

As soon as the speech was made, the hashtag #DespiteBeingAWoman quickly rose to the top trending topic in India.

Many people started tweeting pictures of influential and powerful women.
