BJP member Subramanian Swamy said that Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is a "boneless wonder" of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). "He certainly cannot negotiate with hard-nosed Americans," Swamy tweeted. He added, "His (Jaishankar's) dare is a joke in [the] US. The Americans across the board ignored it. Jaishankar has thus cheapened and lowered India internationally."
