Kerala Member of Parliament (MP) Hibi Eden’s wife found herself at the centre of a social media backlash after she drew an analogy between fate & rape in her Facebook post.
“Fate is like rape, if you can’t resist it, then try to enjoy it,” Anna Linda Eden wrote on Facebook on Monday, along with 2 videos of her family coping with floods in Ernakulam. While one video showed her daughter being rescued from their waterlogged residence, the other one featured her husband enjoying a sizzler somewhere.
In her apology, Anna Linda said that her post didn’t mean to glorify rape & regretted the fact that it got misconstrued. She also said that her post was an effort to overcome a crisis that hit her life following the serious illness of her father.
She added that as a wife of a people’s representative, she understands the pain & suffering of those who were abused & has always been supportive of them.
Anna Linda is a media professional & had actively campaigned for her husband in the national election. Hibi Eden won his maiden parliamentary election in May from the Ernakulam constituency.
