On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights which signifies the exchange of gifts, India gave a heartening gift to neighboring nation Pakistan. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj announced that India will grant medical visas to all Pakistanis with deserving cases for treatment in the country.
Owing to the lack of proper medical facilities to deal with critical cases in their country, a lot of Pakistanis look up to India for treatment. However, getting visas to India is an onerous task for Pakistan nationals amidst the mounting tensions between the two nations. We have come across reports of many Pakistanis contacting Sushma Swaraj on Twitter, seeking her help in securing visas on medical grounds.
And, on the eve of Diwali, India has sent joy as a gift to all the Pakistanis by promising to provide medical visas.
