Speaking to Times Now, Salve who just charged ₹1 for representing Jadhav’s case in the ICJ, said:  

I spoke to her (Swaraj) at 8.50 pm. It was a very emotional conversation. She said you have to come and meet me. I have to give you your Re 1 for the case which you won. I said of course I have to come collect that precious fee. She said come tomorrow at 6 o’clock.

Even though that tomorrow never came for Mrs. Swaraj, she will always be remembered as a responsible minister who was just a tweet away.
