In a post on X, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) shared an image quoting a report on Misri and his daughter being trolled online. "Why is the government silent? Shame on the trolls," the CPI(M) said.

Brittas, the parliamentary party leader of the CPI(M) in the Rajya Sabha and a member of the Parliamentary Panel on External Affairs, condemned the barrage of online attacks targeting Misri and his family, and requested the home minister to take action.
