Sushma Swaraj interacted with the Indian community in Kazakhstan's Astana.Astana (Kazakhstan): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday interacted with the Indian community in Kazakhstan's Astana and said that from first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru to Dr Manmohan Singh, nobody addressed the Indian community in other countries like the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government."The attachment that this (Bharatiya Janata Party) government has with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) was never seen before.
