New Delhi, June 11 (TIWN) External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar joined Twitter a couple of years ago, but he posted his first tweet only a day after becoming a Minister in the new Cabinet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"My first tweet. Thank you all for the best wishes! Honoured to be given this responsibility. Proud to follow on the footsteps of @SushmaSwaraj ji," Jaishankar tweeted on May 31.

Of the nearly 60 tweets he has posted so far on the micro-blogging platform, all of them are in English, except the one posted on June 2 in which he assured the people of the country that the Central government had no intention to impose any language.

Jaishankar posted that tweet in Tamil, showing very well that he was fully aware of the audience he was addressing, and also how fast he was learning to use Twitter as part of the "optics", just as any other politician would do.
