Swaraj delights Twitter again with her humour

August 20, 2016 12:13

The external minister does it again! When she isn't busy fulfilling her duties as minister or congratulating Olympics medal winners or consoling Olympians who had to quit the games after being injured, Sushma Swaraj manages to get everyone to smile.

Singapore-based countryman Arif Rashid Zargar had been waiting for a while now for his infant son to get a passport. He can't see his little boy, Ali, in person again, until he gets his documentation. So Zargar tweeted his predicament to external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj: "@SushmaSwaraj Maam my 5 month old baby's passport is pending since a month in PSKsgr due to police verification. :( need your magic advise. @SushmaSwaraj pls help out with my baby's passport or he will grow thinking whatsapp n skype is his father :( PSK sgr

Swaraj's reply was what we can, by now, call 'vintage-Swaraj'.

"Ohh ! That will be too much, pl give me the details. @Gen_VKSingh @CPVIndia @passportsevamea."
