Jaishankar Grieves For Journo In Between G-7 Meet

Everyone in Delhi media has been talking about EAM Dr S Jaishankar, particularly the way he grieved for the passing away of his batch mate,  Harpal Singh Bedi from JNU even as he was away on  G-7 summit in Apulia, Italy. Not only did he tweet the photo of their varsity days — describing them as the first batch of JNU students for International Studies — but the minister also made it a point to attend his friend’s funeral in Delhi the same day as soon as he returned from the summit. Many hailed the EAM for being so down to earth and remembering his friend in the midst of his hectic international engagement.  Many in the social media noted that the EAM was indeed a good friend to have. However, those who knew Bedi, working with news agency UNI, recall Jaishankar always kept a low profile and made it a point to catch up with Bedi whenever he had the time. Clearly, Team Modi 3.0 has ministers who take themselves lightly.
