Not a "joke" @RandeepHooda . You notice no one makes "jokes" saying a male politician is too ugly to f***? You are doing what casteist, misogynist, insecure turds do when confronted with women whose strength they fear: attack the woman as unattractive. https://t.co/F4WsmDLbCw

Hi @UNEP @BonnConvention Look what sort of person you have as an ambassador, do you endorse his disgusting values, his disgusting thinking, drop him off from your forum/team as an Ambassador and publicly denounce him and announce why he is being removed for. https://t.co/d2e4Sd69xy
