Vikram Misri’s daughter targeted online; NCW reacts

New Delhi: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has strongly condemned the online trolling of Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, his family, and especially his daughter, following the understanding reached between India and Pakistan on 10 May to halt all military actions.

In a statement, NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar criticised the sharing of the young woman’s personal contact details, describing it as a “grossly irresponsible act” and a “serious breach of privacy” that puts her safety at risk.

Rahatkar stressed that personal attacks on the family members of senior civil servants like Misri are not only unacceptable but also morally wrong.

Call for responsible conduct

The NCW urged citizens to show restraint and respect both online and offline. Rahatkar added, “Let us choose dignity and responsible conduct.”

The Misri family has also received support from veteran diplomat Nirupama Menon Rao and politicians Asaduddin Owaisi and Akhilesh Yadav.

Support from veteran diplomats and leaders

Nirupama Menon Rao 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. #StopTrollingMisri #SupportDiplomats #VikramMisri #IndianDiplomacy #NoToDoxxing.”
