Trolls target Misri & kin, FS locks social media a/c
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|May 12, 2025
THE vicious trolling of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his daughter on social media platform X forced him to lock access to his handle by the public.
THE vicious trolling of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his daughter on social media platform X forced him to lock access to his handle by the public. On the positive side, it has garnered enormous support from politicians across the spectrum and professionals who took to the same platform to laud the top diplomat and condemn the trolls.
Misri caught the nation's attention when he led the media briefing on May 7 after 'Operation Sindoor' that was beamed live on social media platforms. The officer repeatedly addressed the media later and again on Saturday confirming the ceasefire between the two nations and its violation by Pakistan. The co-ordinated trolling began after that.
