Little did the world know that Sushma Swaraj's tweet on Tuesday evening would be her parting message to the world. “Thank you Prime Minister. Thank you very much. I was waiting to see this day in my lifetime,” said the BJP stalwart while referring to the scrapping of Article 370 and reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir into two UTs.
Long before her colleagues took to Twitter, Swaraj had already nailed the art of reaching out to people through the micro-blogging site. From helping stranded Indians in foreign lands or reaching out to distressed persons, her humane approach to issues as the face of Indian diplomacy was applauded worldwide. In short, she was a rockstar on Twitter.
Here's a quick look at some of her witty tweets through which she won Twitterati and made others laugh:
# 1 As the External Affairs Minister, Swaraj made sure that the Indian government was always there to help, even on Mars:
Even if you are stuck on the Mars, Indian Embassy there will help you. https://t.co/Smg1oXKZXD
