Chandigarh,
\nExternal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who has gained admiration on social media for going out of her way to help Indians in foreign land, recently taught a Kashmiri student who was seeking her help a ‘lesson’.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Ateeq, who tweets from his @SAteEQ019, had requested Swaraj to help him with getting a new passport and said he needed to get back to his \u201chome, India\u201d as his health was deteriorating.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am from J&K doing medicine course here in Philippines my passport got damaged I applied for new one 1 month ago I request u pls help me to get it as i literally need to go home for medical checkup (sic),\u201d Ateeq tweeted.<\/p>\n
Swaraj responded to Ateeq saying she would have helped him if he belonged to the state of Jammu and Kashmir but his profile said \u201cIndian occupied Kashmir\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour profile says you are from \u2018Indian-occupied Kashmir\u2019. There is no place like that,\u201d Swaraj tweeted.<\/p>\n
The youth promptly corrected the location on his Twitter bio to \u201cjammu &kashmir\/ manila\u201d.<\/p>\n
Swaraj acknowledged the correction in a tweet that was shared minutes later and asked the Indian Embassy in Manila to help the medical student.<\/p>\n
Both of Swaraj\u2019s tweets have been shared over 5,000 times and have been liked by nearly 10,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
