Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who faced flak for her controversial comments recently in India about how women voters in 2016 presidential elections were more swayed by men, says she meant no disrespect to any individual or group.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Clinton referred to her remarks at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, saying her comments "in passing about women "unfortunately" being more swayed by men in the 2016 Presidential elections got a lot of "negative attention."
Clinton further wrote in the post that as much as she "hate(s)" the possibility, and "hate saying it, it's not that crazy when you think about our ongoing struggle to reach gender balance even within the same household. I did not realise how hard it would hit many who heard it."
