Foreign Minister of India, Sushma Swaraj's quick wit and alacrity on social media has often been talked about. With her prompt responses to requests and grievances that appear on her Twitter feeds, Swaraj has always left netizens to applaud her. And yet again, she proves her mettle as the right person to deal with problems faced by Indians on international terrain!
On her Twitter feed, a user going by the handle Gavy, shared a grievance regarding his friend which needed immediate attention. Originally from Punjab, the person asked the Foreign Minister to look into the matter concerning his ill friend who needs to be brought back to India from Malaysia. The tweet, however, had a few grammatical errors, which the trolls didn't miss.
