Congress on Thursday questioned the timing of government’s decision to remove Sujatha Singh as Foreign Secretary. Former Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari wrote on Twitter:
Is sacking of Foreign Secretary late retribution for her stand on Devyani Khorbode affair? Removal after a Presidential visit"coincidental"?

Government on Wednesday night decided to replace Ms. Singh curtailing her tenure by seven months and appointed India’s ambassador to the U.S. S. Jaishankar in her place.
