New Delhi: Dr.S. Jaishankar, the esteemed External Affairs Minister, reaffirmed his commitment to serving the nation by taking the oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament.

Having secured his place in the Rajya Sabha through the biennial elections conducted in July, this marks Jaishankar's second term in this distinguished assembly. Expressing his deep sense of honor, he shared his sentiments on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating, "Today, I take the oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha, India's Council of States. Grateful for this privilege."
