Prof Swaraj holds classes

July 19, 2016 15:11

Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday made an hour-long PowerPoint presentation on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent foreign tours to the BJP Parliamentary Committee. Almost all the Lok Sabha MPs and many Rajya Sabha MPs were present. The PPP illustrated how Modi connected with the local Indian community in those countries and how he had gone about attracting foreign direct investment.

At many times, BJP MPs thumped their desk when Sushma Swaraj donning a professorial mantle explained the salient features.

At one point, Narendra Modi's face creased into a smile when Sushma mentioned how he had impressed the US parliament with his maiden speech and had taken a dig at disruptions in the Upper House in both countries.
