Sushma Swaraj is an Indian politician, former Supreme Court lawyer, and since 2014 she has been the Minister of External Affairs of India.
Sushma Swaraj is very popular on Twitter, where she responds to the plies of many people all over the world, hoping for a visa into India.
There is a request for medical visa from some Pakistani children – Muhammad Ahmad (10 months), Abuzar (7 yrs), Mohit (7 yrs), Zainab Shahzadi (8 yrs) and Muhammad Zain Aslam (9 yrs). We grant visa for all these Pakistani children for their treatment in India.

Swaraj is disliked by most Pakistanis for speaking against Pakistan on several occasions. She took a swipe at Pakistan last year, telling the United Nations (UN) that Islamabad had only given the world “terrorists” while India was contributing doctors and engineers.
However, recently, she’s made a Pakistani girl’s dream come true.
@SushmaSwaraj Dear Mam I need your help for Indian visa to get married in Lucknow. Please mam I am waiting for your response.

A Pakistani woman desperately needed to get a visa for her wedding in Lucknow.
@SushmaSwaraj Respected Mam! I appeal, on this Diwali I want a gift from you by providing visa for my wedding in Lucknow, please mam…

Swaraj agreed and granted her a visa as she welcomed her as “India’s daughter-in-law.” How heartwarming!
Welcome – You are coming as India's daughter in law. We will give you the visa. @IndiainPakistan https://t.co/ED7ecKomrL

The woman was swarmed with good wishes from both Indians and Pakistanis.
Thankyou so much guys for so many wishes, thanks a lot to everyone! 🙂

Sabahat, who is 24 and from Karachi, got married to the love of her life, Naqi Ali Khan, who is a 27-year-old engineer from Agha Mir Deodhi last Friday. Their wedding was delayed for two years due to the tension between India and Pakistan – that is until Sushma Swaraj helped them.
“Our families are related, but we were divided when the two countries underwent partition. The groom’s maternal grandmother and the bride’s paternal grandmother were sisters and lived together in Lucknow before partition,” said Naqi’s elder brother, Muzaffar.
We wish them a happy marriage!
