An Indian national, Garima tweeted @SushmaSwaraj last week on Thursday night, "Dear @SushmaSwaraj mam, my husband is in critical condition in Dubai, brain stroke. I applied for an urgent visa under medical emergency. Though I hope the visa should come any moment, mam, please help. Mam, tomorrow UAE embassy is closed for Friday. Please help."
Her tweet was retweeted over three thousand times. The minister replied to her tweet on Saturday morning assuring the help.
Ms. Swaraj tweeted, “I am sorry to know this. Rest assured we will definitely help you.”

Preparing to leave, hoping to board anytime after midnight. Thx @narendramodi govt,” her tweet read.
