The CMS Secretariat in their statement announcing the removal of Hooda from the post said that they became aware of the video clip recently and found the comments by him “offensive”. They said that “it does not reflect the values” of the CMS Secretariat or the United Nations. It also said that they were not aware of the video and its content while appointing Hooda as a CMS Ambassador for Migratory Species in February 2020.

Randeep Hooda was nominated as the ambassador along with Australian explorer and environmentalist Sacha Dench and British biologist Ian Redmond OBE and had to serve his duties till 2023.

The 2012 video went viral on Twitter on Tuesday and several demanded an apology from Hooda and some also sought legal action against the actor. As of now, Hooda has not officially released any statement on the matter.
