Sushma's daughter meets Salve, fulfills her last promise

September 28, 2019 11:13

In a heartfelt message, Swaraj Kaushal, the widower of Sushma Swaraj said that their daughter on Friday fulfilled the last wish of the veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader.

Swaraj's last wish was to give Rs 1 fee to senior advocate Harish Salve for contesting Kulbhushan Jadhav case in the International Court of Justice.

"Your daughter Bansuri has fulfilled your last wish today. She has presented Rs 1 fee to Harish Salve in Kulbhushan Jadhav's case, which you had left," Swaraj Kaushal tweeted with picture of Salve and his daughter handing over Rs 1 coin.

A day before she died, Sushma talked to Salve and told him to come and take his fees of Rs 1 for the Jadhav case.

However, just 10 minutes later, she suffered a cardiac arrest.

Salve gave credit for India's success at the International Court of Justice in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case to Swaraj and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"It (Kulbhushan Jadhav case) was all her brainchild. There was not a single paper filed in the case which she didn't see herself. She used to inspect everything and gave valuable suggestions. She used to go personally to the prime minister to ensure everything was cleared. The whole credit for the case goes to Prime Minister Modi and Sushma Ji," Salve had said.

The seven-time parliamentarian Sushma Swaraj passed away at 67. -- ANI
