Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, who faced trolling on social media in the wake of India and Pakistan reaching an understanding on May 10 to halt all military actions, has received support from veteran diplomat Nirupama Menon Rao, a body of Indian diplomats and a host of politicians from several parties.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also strongly condemned the trolling of Misri, his family and particularly, his daughter.

According  to PTI, The Delhi-based Association of Indian Diplomats issued a statement on Monday, describing Misri’s trolling as ‘appalling and completely unacceptable’.

“The Association of Indian Diplomats strongly condemns the trolling and doxing of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his family. This is appalling and completely unacceptable. He is an outstanding professional with an impeccable record. Strict action needs to be taken against those responsible,” it said.

Leaders from the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Left parties backed Misri and deplored the online attack targeting him.

‘There’s no doubt that @VikramMisri is an outstanding officer who has served the nation admirably for decades, most recently during the current crisis. I stand with him and deplore those who would insult and undermine an honest and hard-working public servant,’ Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said in a post on X.

Tharoor’s party colleague, Sachin Pilot, too had come out in support of Misri.

‘I condemn the social media trolling directed at family of the Foreign Secretary @VikramMisri It’s unacceptable to target our professional diplomats and civil servants — those who work dedicatedly to serve the nation,’ Pilot said in a post on X.
