New Delhi: Sushma Swaraj is no more and a few of her last words are making the news.
After thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter for the scrapping of Article 370, Sushma Swaraj reportedly had a conversation with lawyer Harish Salve, who represented India at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case pertaining to Kulbhushan Jadhav, on Tuesday at about 8.30 pm. The former minister, who passed away the very evening at about 9 pm, following a cardiac arrest had asked Salve to meet her and collect his fee of Rs 1 for taking up the Jadhav case.

Recalling his “emotional conversation” with Swaraj, the former solicitor general told Times Now: “I spoke to her at 8:50 pm. It was a very emotional conversation…. She said, ‘you have to come and meet me. I have to give you your one rupee for the case which you won’. I said, ‘of course, I have to come to collect that precious fee’. She said, ‘come and meet me tomorrow at 6 o’clock’,” Salve said.

Last month, the International Court of Justice for Pakistan to grant former Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav consular access, a right he had been denied so far. It also stated that Pakistan had violated the Vienna Convention by doing so, and directed it to review the death sentence ordered by a military court at a closed trial.

Swaraj had welcomed the International Court of Justice’s verdict, calling it “a great victory” for India.
