Is there a ‘fan club’ for Dr. S. Jaishankar? Vijay Shekhar Sharma of Paytm wants to be a co-founder. What Edelweiss CEO said Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has received acclaim for his response to a query about India’s energy imports and the country’s response to the Ukraine war. He remarked on Monday during a joint news conference with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and their American counterparts following the 2+2 ministerial meetings that India’s total purchase of oil from Russia in a month is probably less than what Europe does in an afternoon.

“I want to do it my way and communicate it my way,” Dr. S Jaishankar remarked when asked about India’s position on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by a reporter.
Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma was among those who thanked the minister during the briefing for his crisp remarks.
“Our Indian team is just the greatest in international diplomacy.” “What a great response from MEA,” Sharma wrote on Monday.
“I noticed you mention purchasing oil. If you are considering Russian energy imports, I would advise you to concentrate your efforts in Europe. We do purchase some energy, which is required for our energy security. However, based on the data, I believe our total purchases for the month would be less than what Europe spends in an afternoon “When asked about India’s oil purchases from Russia, Jaishankar told a reporter.
While the Foreign Minister was being lauded for his remarks during the joint briefing, Ajay Rotti, a partner at tax and regulatory firm Dhruva Advisors, published a statement from another event, attempting to establish a “Dr S Jaishankar Fan Club.”
“I’m seeking for co-founders for the ‘@DrSJaishankar Fan Club.’ “Those who are interested can respond to this tweet,” Rotti said.
Vijay Shekhar Sharma replied to his tweet with “Ye” and a raised hands emoji.
“I’m curious why there aren’t more stories and Twitter threads on his ability to manage difficult situations and provide insightful responses,” the Paytm CEO tweeted.
