Asaduddin Owaisi Defends Vikram Misri Amid Online Abuse
The online abuse of Vikram Misri has sparked a wider debate about the need for civility and respect in online discourse, with many leaders and citizens calling for an end to personal attacks and insults. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the government and social media platforms will respond to the issue.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is facing online abuse and doxxing following India's agreement with Pakistan to stop military actions, prompting defense from Asaduddin Owaisi and other leaders who condemn the personal attacks.
Misri, a seasoned diplomat, has been targeted by social media users with personal attacks and insults, including being called "Traitor" and "Deshdrohi". Some users have also questioned the citizenship of his daughters. The abuse has been widely condemned, with many calling for respectful discourse and denouncing the doxxing and vitriol. Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP, has defended Misri, stating that he is a "decent and honest hard-working diplomat" who should not be blamed for the decisions taken by the executive or political leadership.
Misri has served in various capacities at the Ministry of External Affairs and has been a part of the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi and Indian Missions abroad. He has worked on the Pakistan desk at the Ministry of External Affairs and has served as Private Secretary to three Prime Ministers of India. His experience and calm demeanor during government briefings on Operation Sindoor have been praised by many, including former diplomat Navdeep Suri, who called the trolling of Misri "disgusting".
The incident highlights the need for respectful discourse and the importance of not targeting individuals for decisions made by the government. Asaduddin Owaisi's defense of Misri is a welcome move, and it is hoped that it will help to reduce the online abuse and promote a more constructive conversation on the issues at hand.
