'Theek hai?': PM’s speech gaffe overshadows his address to the nation

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 25 Desember 2012 | 22.14

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh finally addressed the nation on Monday morning to calm the protestors agitating against the gang-rape incident in Delhi. But a gaffe at the end of the speech, which was broadcast by major news channels, only left the protesters more incensed.

After finishing his speech the PM asked, probably the cameraperson filming him, "theek hai?". The few-second long footage was somehow not edited out before the statement was sent to television channels. It soon made its way to YouTube and was shared by thousands of web users on Twitter and Facebook.

The netizens on Twitter and Facebook took "theek hai" part of the speech as a show of political apathy and indifference. Using the hashtag #theekhai, they ridiculed the PM and his government. Many wrote that 'it is not #theek hai'.

In less than an hour after the speech, #theekhai became the top Twitter trend for India. Since then thousands of tweets have been using the hashtag.

Rahul Kanwal(@rahulkanwal), a journalist, tweeted: "If sab #TheekHai there'd be no reason for you to speak @PMOIndia."

Chetan Bhagat (@chetan_bhagat), a writer, said, "Madam, madam sorry madam, maine aise hi pooch liya #theekhai? Aage se will stick to the script. Theek hai? Oops madam, sorry.. hello? hello?"

Faking News (@fakingnews) noted, "LOL! #TheekHai is already trending in India. Twitter can earn billions if it sells a control panel to gov that could censor trending topics."

However, some people were not in favour of making a big deal of the gaffe. Culdivsac (@culdivsac) tweeted: "Lol, what's the big deal abt #theekhai? The PM was giving a take for the camera & expressed his approval of the take. So? Just lazy editing."
