Sushma to the aid of girl’s father in trouble in UAE

New Delhi, Aug 11 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's active use of the social media to help Indians in distress abroad came to the fore again on Wednesday when she assured a 16-year-old girl that the Indian Embassy in the UAE will help her father caught in a fraud case.

Anjali Mohan tweeted she needed help as her father was trapped in a fraud case in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) but was not involved.

"I am just 16 so I don't know," Anjali said.

Late on Wednesday, Sushma Swaraj tweeted: "Anjali -- I hv sent a word to the Ambassador. (The) Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi will contact you and help."

A couple of days back, Sushma Swaraj also helped a couple going abroad for their honeymoon after the wife lost her passport.
