'Wish you were our PM': Pakistani woman thanks Sushma Swaraj for visa help

Even as Pakistan's prime minister Nawaz Sharif faces a tough time after his involvement in the Panama Papers revelation, one Pakistani woman on Twitter made an interesting choice for his post - India's external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.

The woman, while praising Swaraj's efforts to help a Pakistani national in need of medical treatment get an Indian visa, went on to say that she wished Sushma Swaraj was their prime minister.

The owner of the Twitter handle @Hijaab_asif, the Pakistani woman had retweeted a fellow national's request for an Indian visa on June 14.

@SushmaSwaraj Dear maam we've applied visa for india, the condition of patient is not good we've got invitation kindly grant us visa :'( pic.twitter.com/c8irNKy0FQ

Facing a medical emergency, the request was put up by one Syed Ali Mod Taqvi who couldn't get an Indian visa after several attempts as the application lacked a recommendation letter from Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan's Foreign affairs advisor.

Sushma Swaraj, who already has a large fan following across the border, directed the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad to take necessary steps to issue a visa to the Pakistani national for medical treatment.

'Gautam Bambawale ji - Inhein Indian visa de do,' Swaraj had tweeted asking the Indian High commissioner to Islamabad Gautam Bambawale to take necessary measures.

The Indian High Commission replied promptly saying that they are in touch with the applicant and are taking necessary steps. “Ma’am, we are in touch with the applicant. Rest assured we will follow it up,” the High Commission tweeted back.

Elated with the gesture, the Pakistani woman said she wished Swaraj was her country’s prime minister.

Lots and lost of love and respect from here. Wish you were our Prime Minister, this country would've changed!

Swaraj also said in a tweet that she wonders why no action was taken by Sartaj Aziz for the patient.
