Sushma Swaraj is back to doing what she does best -- helping out Indians living abroad through social media. She wins our hearts again! This time the External Affairs Minister has extended help to an ailing widowed Indian woman in the USA who gave birth to a baby girl a few weeks ago.
After the sudden demise of the girl's, identified as Deepika Pandey, husband -- Hariom Pandey, a resident of Boston, her friends’ took her to New Jersey for better medical care. Unfortunately, in the US health insurance of one state is not valid in another. Deepika also could not travel back to India due to the pregnancy. It was then that Deepika’s friends and family members posted a letter wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking help for her health insurance issues and also to make the OCI (Overseas Citizenship Of India) Card for her child at the earliest.
The letter went viral and Twitterati started tagging the foreign minister. And like the past, the minister was quick to respond.
Sushma instructed the Indian Embassy to take care of the matter. Deepika is now recovering under proper care.
Here's the letter Deepika’s family wrote detailing her woes:

Here's the minister's response:
Deepika - We are with you in this hour of tragedy. I have asked @IndianEmbassyUS to help you. @BJPLucknowBJP @templetree1

The letter was sent before Deepika gave birth to the baby girl.
By now people would know that this is not the first time that our External Affairs Minister has gone out of her way to help an Indian in trouble in a foreign country. This again proved the power of Twitter and Twitterati. Let us hope that Deepika returns back to India soon with her kid.
