New Foreign Minister’s Son Dhruva Jaishankar Says He Can’t Help with Passport Woes in Cheeky Tweet

A day after Subrahmanyam Jaishankar was appointed as the Indian Minister for External Affairs in Narendra Modi’s second cabinet, his son Dhruva Jaishankar stole some of his father’s limelight by posting a hostile tweet.

Jaishankar succeeded Sushma Swaraj, one of the most Twitter-friendly politicians in India and a charming MEA, who was not given a portfolio this time.

However, his experience as a diplomat and the longest serving foreign secretary in recent times makes him a potentially good MEA.

Responding to an apparently misplaced request to the new Foreign Affairs Minister for help regarding visa or passport, Dhruva said, "Dude. Wrong Twitter".

Dhruva added, "I have plenty of those problems myself (other than the prisons - I try to stay clear of those)."
