PM Modi's "Despite being a woman" remark misinterpreted

Whenever Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes on a foreign tour, some controversy erupts about the action or words he chooses. After the drum-playing controversy in Japan and 'insulting India' ruckus in China, Modi stoked a fresh controversy with his "Despite being a woman" remark on his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina Wajed in Dhaka last weekend. But when Modi says "Despite being a woman" while glorifying a woman leader of a friendly regime in a Muslim country, he makes a strong foreign policy statement. Another aspect of this unwanted Modi controversies is that his critics are not finding enough ammunition to rattle him. The PM's foreign trips have so far been successful which leaves the opponent largely helpless.
