Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has granted visa to yet another Pakistani in need of urgent medical attention reported Indian Express. This time, she has come to the rescue of a seven-year-old Pakistani girl from Karachi who required medical visa to undergo an open heart surgery in India. The Minister, responding to the girl’s mother Nida Shoaib, who appealed for help, tweeted, “…We also pray for her early recovery.”
Shoaib, who said her application was pending since August, has posted the visa’s scanned copy on her Twitter handle.
Earlier in June, the Minister had helped a four-month-old Pakistani child Rohaan for undergoing surgery for a heart ailment. After the successful surgery, Rohaan’s father had told The Indian Express: “The heart of my child beats today for Madam Sushma Swaraj. I would like to request her to open doors for those Pakistanis who have been waiting for medical visas. It is my humble request.” Rohaan, however, died of dehydration last month at his home.
