On Twitter Handle, Sushma Swaraj Back as 'Foreign Minister'

New Delhi: Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's bio on twitter missed her designation for a few days, which fueled much speculation. Today, 'Foreign Minister, Government of India' made a comeback on her profile.

According to her ministry, nothing should be read into it.

"The Twitter account is Mrs Swaraj's personal one, she keeps changing her bio as per her wish," said a foreign ministry spokesperson.

Ms Swaraj has lately used her twitter account to respond to allegations and hit back at critics in connection with the controversy over her helping disgraced cricket tycoon Lalit Modi with travel documents in the UK last year when his passport had been cancelled by the Indian government.

This morning, for instance, she tweeted that she would reveal in Parliament the name of a senior Congress leader who had lobbied her for a diplomatic passport for coal scam accused former minister Santosh Bagrodia.

Reports suggest that the minister had changed her twitter bio very recently, and left it blank. Sources say she may have wanted to post some personal tweets, not as the country's foreign minister.
