Sushma Swaraj Helped 4 Pakistani Patients And This Is Their Heart-Wrenching Reply To Her

Sushma Swaraj is one such minister who wins hearts with her able deeds. This Indian External Affairs Minister on Saturday assured a medical visa to yet another Pakistani national who said that “after Allah, you are our last hope”. The foreign minister has announced the grant of visas to four Pakistani nationals who need to undergo treatment in India.

Shahzaib Iqbal, who needs a medical visa for the liver transplant of his cousin, said in his Tweeter request.”After ALLAH you are our last hope.. kindly allow Islamabad embassy (meaning Indian High Commission) to issue us medical visa”.

“India will not belie your hope. We will issue the visa immediately,” Sushma Swaraj tweeted in response to a request from Mr Iqbal. Swaraj’s move comes three day after Islamabad accused India of “politicising” humanitarian issues.

“Yes. We will give you the medical visa,” she said in response to a request from Sajida Baksh who said that she underwent a liver transplant but developed complications and now needed urgent follow-up. She also assured a visa to Kishwar Sultana who is awaiting liver transplant in a hospital in Noida.

Meanwhile, on the Independence day, the Ministry of External Affairs had announced that India would provide medical visas to all bonafide Pakistani patients. While the ties between the two countries soured over various issues, the ministry had announced in May that only a letter of recommendation by then Pakistan Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz would enable a Pakistani national to get a medical visa for India.

The action was termed “highly regrettable” by Islamabad, which said that asking for such a letter violated diplomatic norms and such a requirement had not been prescribed for any other country. However, a patient from Pakistan-administered Kashmir, seeking treatment in New Delhi for liver tumor, was given a visa in July.

Answering to all this. Sushma Swaraj then said that he needed no recommendation from the Pakistani government for a medical visa because the territory “is an integral part of India”. It must be noted that from August 15, however, Pakistani nationals seeking medical treatment have not been denied visas.
