War-hungry Hindu extremist groups have launched a series of threats and abusive messages against Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri after he announced a “full and immediate” ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The extremists have labeled Misri a “traitor” for his role in pursuing peace talks and have gone as far as sharing personal details, including his daughter’s mobile number, with the public.
