Swaraj promises to provide visa to ailing Pakistani baby
184
HYDERABAD: Tensions between India and Pakistan may be escalating but that has not stopped India’s Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj from helping a Pakistani bring his two-and-a-half-year-old baby to India for treatment.
Ken Sid, a Pakistani national, reached out to Ms Swaraj for a medical visa as his son has a heart complication which could not be treated in Pakistan.
“He is my son. He does not even know what is happening between India and Pakistan,” Ken tweeted to drive home the point that an innocent child should not be deprived of treatment.
On Thursday, Ms Swaraj reacted to the plea and said: “No, This child will not suffer. Please contact Indian High Commission in Pakistan. We will give the medical visa.”
“It is heartening to see humanity prevailing despite many differences. Thank you for your efforts. Humanity prevails! God bless everyone,” the child’s father tweeted after a large number of Indians urged the minister to consider his plea.

Good gesture saving life is a blessing by beautiful India.
Core issues have to be taken care of for peace to take place between us family. Thousands have died in Kashmir in the larger scheme of things, again saving a life is a blessing, but loosing lives left and right on the other hand in Kashmir be it Muslim, Hindu or Sikh or a soldier it doesn't matter no peace means all good gestures will go to waste.
Anyone who refuses to talks for solving problems of Kashmir is part of the problem. President Musharraf, PM Singh and PM Vajpayee were all on the right track towards give and take and solve issue of Kashmir.
Love, love and love to India always and always because we can separated but the border or no border our shared history of 5000+ years can and will never be forgotten. India was born in present day Sindh Pakistan and Pakistan is India's little brother.

Why are Indian embassies denying medical visas to genuine patients ? As good as this gesture of Sushmaji is it should not come to her level at all. Hope your child recovers ken and welcome to India.

As an Indian, I think India must give medical visas to Pakistanis. It's not right to deny a patient of medical care. We can understand the visa ban for Pak sportspersons and actors. But the patients from any country including Pakistan must get a visa.

A remarkable jesture reflecting true humanitarian spirit. The leadership in the two countries should also demonstrate similar spirit to resolve political differences and bring peace to their people.They can achieve it. I hope they will.

FM Sushma Swaraj gets many such messages from both Indians and foreigners every day seeking help. Generally most of the requests get a favorable response which makes this lady very popular and ensures she gets flooded with even more such requests. Who can deny the request on behalf of a small child needing urgent treatment. The poor cannot afford to take their children to UK/USA for medical treatment because the costs are too high. Good gesture from the Indian FM.

Not long ago we were one country. We should be helping each other instead of wasting time, energy and money fighting. India understands that and so does everything to help our brothers across the border I hope Pakistan too will reciprocate in kind and not with terrorism.

If we reciprocate like this and build trust between both the Govts, many poor people on both the sides will be able to lead better life.

A good face of humanism by Swaraj. Both nations form part of undivided India, in spite of all enmity there is connection of souls. But I wander one thing China being a strategic partner and nearer to Pakistan, and China having better medical infrastructure can provide better medical service than India. Whether PAK authority talked to China on this issue.

Nothing surprising that the medical visa was issued. India or Indians do not have any problems with the people of Pakistan. If it was not for the governments at loggerheads with each other, we may not even need visas to walk across the borders any number of times.

An impressive propaganda tool perfectly designed, carefully applied, thoughtfully installed, willfully commissioned and cunningly tested by the biased-at-heat "movers and shakers" in New Delhi solely based on double standards, eccentricity, unilateralism and self-contentedness.
One wonders If "humanity" is really so important to their heats, souls and minds, why can't they apply the same humanity principle on the hapless, helpless, besieged and betrayed land and people of India-held and India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, where they have sent million plus invading Indian army to kill, destroy and annihilate everything since last 70 years?
What a grave scam?
