In a video from December 4th that went viral on Sunday, the PM is seen saying, “You can imagine, the kind of government the Congress ran. Widow pension was started for a girl child who was not even born. But, who was the Congress widow who used to take away this money? Who was that Congress’ widow in whose account this money went to?”

Modi’s snide comment says a lot about what how patriarchy is imbibed into our very core as a country. So many of us are so lost in their misogyny that they can’t even tell between right and wrong. For the Prime Minister of the country to say something like that on a public stage, he certainly must have considered it okay and normal to say it, right?

However, we are happy that good sense prevailed when it comes to the Indian Twitterati this time as they slammed Modi for his veiled remark which were criticized by many on social media.

Here’s the video that went viral:

New low by @narendramodi. His insensitive comments on opposition leaders are a blot on the chair of PM. There are many things that he has to learn from Mr. Manmohan Singh. He has insulted the whole women fraternity in his urge to target opposition. https://t.co/4rQm645URq

ModiInsultsWomen Shocking that the media has no time when Vidhwa (widowed women) are insulted & used objectional words. BJP a party which talks about women empowerment but resort to shameless rhetoric by none other than Modiji. Shameful.

Only a dishonorable man insults a woman. Having such a man occupy the PMs office is an insult to the Indian citizens. #ModiInsultsWomen

Crass, revolting, repulsive comment by the Prime Minister leaves us all feeling ashamed. A callous PM stinking of misogyny is an embarrassment for every right-minded citizen #ModiInsultsWomen https://t.co/bU6gOLctqX
