Swinging into action, Swaraj on Wednesday replied to Shoaib that the visa had been granted and the Union Minister also prayed for the child’s “early recovery”.
“Yes, we are allowing Visa for your 7 years old daughter’s open heart surgery in India. We also pray for her early recovery,” replied Sushma.

From granting emergency visas to foreign nationals to helping Indians stranded in war torn countries, Swaraj has time and again used social media sites especially Twitter to come to the rescue of those in need of help.
