| The News Minute | March 17, 2015 | 3:31 p.m. IST |On Monday, the Chief of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, interacted with students of Lady Shri Ram College in a session moderated by NDTV’s Prannoy Roy. A report by the channel mentions the highlights of her interaction with the students and quotes her saying that she expects “Indian economy to grow by 7.5 per cent in the 2015/16 fiscal year”.Twitter though picked up on a video of a female student of political science at the college who asked the IMF chief if the growth rate would be reserved for “Hindu males”. She cited “increasing trends of communalism and patriarchy” since the government came into power.The IMF chief responded by saying that “There should be no exclusion and no reservation or capture of the output by a particular group of people - be they of one particular gender, one particular race or one particular religion. Inclusiveness for good growth means everybody”, she added.Read- 'Neither anti-Indian nor a party worker', student in NDTV show with Lagarde retortsThe social networking site has since made #NDTVGirlAsks as one of the top trending topics in the country with a lot of users critical of the student: The horror that #NDTVGirlAsks girl is a Political Science student.
