Her tweet has received immense backlash as there has been an abnormal locust attack in recent days. Five states of North India have been put on high alert, as this could yield massive crop destruction. Netizens thought this was an insensitive tweet and resorted to trolling her.
If one wonders how does a millenial who was offered an opportunity in uber cosmopolitanism, end up with so much bigotry and hate, she is mentioning the source also. pic.twitter.com/k3FOZrRvub

You must know Ms Wasim, the swarm of locusts has entered into India after damaging crops extensively in Iran and Pakistan.
I hope, you would not lose sensitivity during the time of such crises. https://t.co/yalUOTvzk0
