S Jaishankar Slams Mike Pompeo’s Remark On Sushma Swaraj

External Affair Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday, January 25, slammed the remarks made by Ex-US Secretary Mike Pompeo about former Minister Sushma Swaraj calling it a ‘disrespectful colloquialism.”

Pompeo, in his recently released book said that he never considered Swaraj as an ‘important political player’ but he had a good relationship with Jaishankar.

Pompeo used the American slang terms ‘goofball’ and ‘heartland political hack’ to describe Swaraj in his book ‘Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love,’ which was release on January 24.

Swaraj served as External Affairs Minister in the first Modi government from May 2014 to May 2019. She died in August 2019.
