How EAM Jaishankar got one up on Pak's Bilawal Zardari at Goa

Jaishankar asked foreign secretary Vinay Kwatra to step aside and took on Zardari provocation head-on at the post-SCO FM meeting media briefing. For those who know Subrahmanyam Jaishankar from his bureaucratic days, the external affairs minister has always been known to bat straight with an uncanny ability to call a spade a spade. The last foreign minister to learn about this candid and blunt trait of EAM Jaishankar was Pakistan’s Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who tried to play to the galleries back home for his own political ambitions at Goa on May 4-5 and in turn, scuppered any chance of India-Pak détente in the far future.
