What a dignified and classic response Sir Very well said.@HeathrowAirport staffers need British history lessons.
On a side note, when are we going to be able to relish the next season of Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai? 😀— Renuka Sharma (@RenukaS01472421) January 4, 2023
Befitting reply. Sometimes I wonder what would happen to the economies of a lot of countries if Indian tourists stopped visiting them.
