Swaraj tweets about learning to understand English of all accents, grammar
New Delhi: Sushma Swaraj, Foreign Minister of India is known for her swift replies to any Indians calling for help from abroad. She shared about what she has learnt after taking the top job in PM Narendra Modi's cabinet. She wrote on Twitter that she understands English of all accents and grammar.
Swaraj replied to a tweet from an Indian man based in Malaysia seeking her help to send one of his friends back to India. The man's tweet was distorted and had grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes. Reading the tweet another user replied, asking the man to write in Hindi or Punjabi.
That is when Sushma Swaraj responded promptly, 'There is no problem. After becoming Foreign Minister, I have learnt to follow English of all accents and grammar'.
