Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has become the target of online trolling following India's recent ceasefire agreement with Pakistan. The agreement, reached on May 10, aims to halt all military actions, and Misri has found himself at the center of a social media firestorm over the announcement.

Support for Misri has been widespread, with veteran diplomat Nirupama Menon Rao and politicians like Asaduddin Owaisi and Akhilesh Yadav condemning the trolling and disclosing his daughter's personal details online. The National Commission for Women (NCW) joined in, calling the attacks 'unacceptable' and 'morally indefensible.'

The Association of Indian Diplomats also issued a statement supporting Misri, highlighting his impeccable record and dedication to the nation. As a career diplomat, Misri has served in various capacities, most recently playing a key role in the recent dialogues with Pakistan. Despite the backlash, he remains committed to his responsibilities.
