What do I call you? God? A grateful Pakistani woman tweets to Sushma Swaraj
The patient is suffering from serious liver ailment and needs urgent treatment in India, she said.
What do i call you? God? This was the tweet from a lady from Pakistan who got a medical visa thanks to Sushma Swaraj. The External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj directed the Indian High Commission in Islamabad to issue a visa to a Pakistani national for medical treatment in India.
Her direction to India's High Commissioner in Pakistan Gautam Bambawale came after a woman -- Hijaab Asif -- sought the external affairs minister's urgent intervention. Minutes after Swaraj's tweet to Bambawale, the Indian mission tweeted that it was in touch with the applicant.

"Ma'am, we are in touch with the applicant. Rest assured we will follow it up," the Indian High Commission said in a tweet.
Responding to Asif's plea, Swaraj also wondered whether Pakistan Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Advisor Satraj Aziz had refused to issue a recommendation letter for the issuance of a visa by India to the patent.
The External Affairs minister had a few weeks back said that Pakistani nationals seeking visas for medical treatment in India must accompany their visa applications with a recommendation letter by Aziz.
"Dear

(Deputy
High
Commissioner)

the

current
condition
and
he
said
it's
all
up
to
you.
If
you
allow,"
Asif
had
tweeted
earlier.

she
said.
After Swaraj's direction to grant a visa to the patient, Asif was effusive in her praise of the external affairs minister.
"@SushmaSwaraj What do I call you? Superwoman? God? No words to describe your generosity! Love you maam. Cannot stop praising you in tears!!!," she said.
In another tweet, she said "my heart belongs and beats for you", adding that "Pakistan doesn't deserve her at all".
"Lots and Lots of Love and respect from here. Wish you were our prime minister. this country would have changed," she said.
