Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri made his account private on Sunday after several social media users started trolling him and his daughters. Several politicians and former diplomats came out in his support.
The IAS Association also expressed its support and said that it stands in solidarity with Misri.

Earlier, former Foreign Secretary Nirupama Menon Rao also backed Misri and wrote on X, “It’s utterly shameful to troll Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his family over the India-Pakistan ceasefire announcement. A dedicated diplomat, Misri has served India with professionalism and resolve, and there is no ground whatsoever for his vilification . Doxxing his daughter and abusing his loved ones crosses every line of decency. This toxic hate must stop—stand united behind our diplomats, not tear them down.”
Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav termed it as “shameful and disgraceful”.
“It is extremely sensitive, disgraceful, shameful, objective and unfortunate that some antisocial-criminal elements against a very big officer of the country and his family are openly breaking all the limits of abusive words but to protect their respect neither BJP government nor any of their ministers Talking any action against those who come and post such unwanted posts. Such posts and statements break the morale of honest officers who are dedicated to the country day and night,” he wrote on X.
He also demanded that the BJP government investigate it.
“We open demand to the BJP government that all of these should be investigated immediately and the full bureau of all e-payment accounts should be removed from their social media accounts and bank accounts. ED, CBI, CYBER SECURITY and other investigation agencies should be implemented today and find out what forces are working behind them and what foreign forces are these anti-national people taking money and disturbing peace in the country. Want to do,” he said.
Vikram Misri on Saturday announced that India and Pakistan reached a ‘bilateral understanding.’ However, hours later, there was a breach from Pakistan’s side. Addressing a brief later, Misri said that India takes “very serious note of these violations”.
