The way she handled the evacuation of Indians from Yemen and other conflict zones was remarkable. She brought a personal touch to diplomacy that we rarely see. Her legacy in helping Indians abroad is unmatched. She will always be remembered for her compassion.
Though I have political differences with BJP, I must admit Sushma ji was one of the most accessible ministers we ever had. She treated everyone with dignity regardless of their background. A true stateswoman who rose above partisan politics. Respect. 🤝
Her reply to Pakistani journalist about being an Indian first and BJP leader later was iconic. She proved that humanity and patriotism can go hand in hand. Even in the toughest times, she maintained grace and dignity. Om Shanti 🙏
As a young woman in politics, she was my inspiration. She showed that women can lead with both strength and empathy in Indian politics. Her journey from a lawyer to Foreign Minister is a testament to what determination can achieve. Miss her warm smile!
The way she took on Pakistan at the UN while maintaining diplomatic dignity was impressive. She truly elevated India's global standing. Her handling of the Kulbhushan Jadhav case showed her commitment to every Indian citizen. Her legacy will definitely inspire future diplomats. 🇮🇳
