Syed Akbaruddin, the spokesperson for the MEA, posts this picture on Twitter -- former foreign minister SM Krishna wishes the new foreign minister Salman Khurshid success.
On Saturday, a day after SM Krishna put in his papers as union foreign

below 35-years meant that "senior citizens like me should make way".
