Indian Prime Minister Asks ‘Theek Hai’ on Rape Statement Criticize on Social Networking Sites
Indians turned to Twitter and Facebook to vent their anger over the rape of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi on Dec 16.
On Monday, some of the strongest criticism was for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for a televised statement asking people to stay calm. Mr. Singh was referring to protests in the capital over the weekend, which had turned violent, injuring some 85 protesters and police personnel.
THEEK HAI ??? (Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Delhi Gang Rape..!!!) #theekhai
Mr. Singh, in his statement, promised the government would take steps to ensure the safety of women in India.
But at the end of the video, Mr. Singh looked up from his written text to ask “Theek hai?” (Is that okay?). It appeared as if he was asking the cameraman or producers if his performance was adequate.
THEEK HAI !! THEEK HAI !! THEEK HAI !!
