Sushma to help ailing infant from Pakistan

New Delhi June 1 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has offered help to a person in Pakistan who highlighted his infant s health condition on the social media.

Sushma Swaraj said late on Wednesday night that India would offer a medical visa after Ken Sid posted a picture of his ailing child on Twitter with the message: Why my bud suffers for medical treatment!! Any answers (Pakistan Prime Minister s Advisor on Foreign Affairs) Sir Sartaaj Azeez (sic) or Ma am Sushma??

In response Sushma Swaraj tweeted: No. The child will not suffer. Please contact Indian High Commission in Pakistan. We will give the medical visa.

Love to design execute and built. Don t have time for politics the profile reads.
