Harish Salve, who fought India's case at the International Court of Justice against the death penalty given to Kulbhushan Jadhav by Pakistan, charged only Re 1 as fee, according to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Not fair. #HarishSalve has charged us Rs.1/- as his fee for this case. https://t.co/Eyl3vQScrs

Her tweet came in response to a tweet by a Twitter user, who said India could have got any good lawyer with much less fee than what Salve must have charged for fighting the case.
Any good India lawyer would have done the same and with much less expenses than #HarishSalve. Wait for the verdict!https://t.co/Gfw3sBufrL
