External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has granted visa to a seven-year-old Pakistani girl from Karachi for undergoing an open heart surgery in India. 

The minister, responding to the girls mother Nida Shoaib, who appealed for help, tweeted, We also pray for her early recovery.

Shoaib, who said her application was pending since August, has posted the visas scanned copy on her Twitter handle.

Earlier in June, the minister had helped a four-month-old Pakistani child Rohaan for undergoing surgery for a heart ailment.
