Commenting on this, a Pakistani user @lilmisskhawaja wrote, ‘Zero class. Abuse does not mean comedy. The whole world sees your country as a hub of rapists and it is right too. According to an average Indian, this is ‘funny’. You all deserve the racism you are facing in Western countries.’ Abhishek Upmanyu agreed to the comment of this Pakistani user and wrote ‘yes’ below it.
