However, Sushma Swaraj has not responded to her SOS call as yet. Last week, the Minister came to the rescue of another man who asserted that he had sold his assets for his father’s treatment in India and has now been denied a medical visa. Sushma Swaraj affirmed that visa will be provided to him.
Another Pakistani national in distress had approached Sushma Swaraj asking for a medical visa for his son, who was suffering from a heart complication and could not receive adequate treatment in Pakistan. A four-month medical visa was granted to him.
“It is heartening to see humanity prevailing despite many differences. Thank you for your efforts. Humanity prevails! God bless everyone,” the child’s father said in a Tweet.
