New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is known for her prompt replies on Twitter, on Sunday clarified that it was her who sent out the tweets and “not her ghost”.

I am doing ‘chowkidari’ of Indian interests and Indian nationals abroad

The Minister’s response come on a question raised by Twitter user Samit Padhy, a software engineer.

“Certainly it’s not Sushma Swaraj who is doing this tweets. Some PR guy is doing his/her duty for what they being paid for,” Samit said in his tweet.

In response, Sushma Swaraj said: “Rest assured – it’s me, not my ghost.”

Last week, when a Twitter user asked the Minister why she calls herself a “Chowkidaar”, Sushma Swaraj said in a tweet: “Because I am doing ‘chowkidari’ of Indian interests and Indian nationals abroad.”
