So I’m attaching the tweets because such persons should be exposed for being a menace to society. This man has zero respect for mothers, daughters and sisters. I ask All to refrain from such language as it is unbecoming for a Pakistani. This is not how our parents bring us up. pic.twitter.com/oZHYsgYxwj
