External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has come to the aid of a sick Pakistan national by giving him a medical visa for his liver transplant surgery in India.
“Yes, we are granting visa for your father’s liver transplant surgery in India,” Ms. Swaraj tweeted on Monday in reply to a Pakistan resident Hamid Ali Ashraf, whose father Mohammed Ashraf is to be treated at the Max Hospital in Saket here.
“Thank you so much mam thank you. I am greatful to you mam. It is really a great deed towards humanity,” Mr. Ashraf said in reply to Ms. Swaraj’s gesture.

He had earlier put out a series of tweets since the start of this month, tagging Ms. Swaraj and urging her to grant him a medical visa.
“Respected mam please help us. My father needs liver transplant, his condition is very bad please issue the visa. I request you mam please,” Mr. Ashraf earlier tweeted.
Ms. Swaraj has accorded her nod in the past to many Pakistan nationals seeking to get medical treatment in India.
