Exclusive: EAM S Jaishankar Says He Was Serving A Nation, Not The Nehru Family

An exclusive conversation with India’s dynamic External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. In this chat with Business Today Executive Director Rahul Kanwal in his special show ‘Jab We Met’, the former Indian Foreign Services officer responded strongly to Congress criticism that he had obtained his position through ‘Nehruvian plum positions’. The Minister has said that he, as many others in the government, had worked hard to reach where they were now and not due to pleasing the right people. He also said that officers like him served the nation and not a particularly family.
