Civil servants' associations and politicians across the political spectrum have come out in support of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his family who were trolled on social media and faced online abuses after he delivered a statement on Saturday on Pakistan's violations of the newly agreed ceasefire deal.

Making an announcement that Pakistan had violated the ceasefire pact just hours after the deal was agreed Mr Misri had stated that the armed forces were responding to the violations.

Asserting that India will respond firmly in the event of further violations, Misri however said India did not back out of the ceasefire deal.

Following this announcement, Misri was subjected to a series of online trolls with several X users asserting that Foreign Secretary had not taken a harder line on ceasefire violations by Pakistan.
