Can't help with passport, visa or get you out of foreign prison, tweets foreign minister's son

New Delhi, May 31 (IBNS): The newly-appointed foreign minister, S. Jaishankar's son Dhruva Jaishankar, has tweeted he can "absolutely not help anyone with their passport, visa, or getting-you-out-of-a-foreign-prison problems".

"I have plenty of those problems myself (other than the prisons - I try to stay clear of those)," he added.

S. Jaishankar is a former foreign secretary, who was inducted in the the Union cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's second government along with other ministers on Thursday.

"Dhruva Jaishankar is Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at Brookings India in New Delhi and the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. He is also a Non-Resident Fellow with the Lowy Institute in Australia, and is a regular contributor to the Indian and international media on international affairs and security. His research examines India’s role in the international system and the effects of global developments on India’s politics, economics, and society, with a particular focus on India’s relations with the United States, the Indo-Pacific, and Europe," Jaishankar Junior's bio reads on his website.

S. Jaishankar, the 1977-batch IFS officer,  is the first former foreign secretary to become the Union minster of external affairs.
