The Minister’s intervention came after M. Mohsin, a resident of Faisalabad in Pakistan, tweeted to her, requesting visa for his ailing aunt. “@SushmaSwaraj Madam my Aunt is (in a) very serious condition need liver transplant pls grant medical Visa. Humble request. Plss! (sic),” Mr. Mohsin had tweeted.
Ms. Swaraj has been sympathetically considering the medical visa applications of scores of Pakistani nationals, notwithstanding the strains in ties between India and Pakistan over a host of issues, including cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Yesterday, she had announced that India was giving medical visas to Pakistani nationals seeking treatment in the country.
