Sarita Takru who lost her husband recently, on Tuesday morning, tweeted to the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj asking for her help to get an Indian visa for her only son Abhai Kaul, who is currently in the US, so that the son could reach India in time to attend his father’s last rites. Indian Embassies in the US were closed for Vijayadashmi and Moharram. It was almost impossible for her son to make it in time.
@SushmaSwaraj lost my husband ystrday. My only child, Abhai Kaul, Am citizen, can't get Indian visa before Local Thursday. Is this human?

In prompt response to a request by a mother, the External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday directed Indian Embassy in Washington to grant visa to the son so that he could attend his father’s last rites despite the fact that the Embassy was being closed for two days for Vijaya Dashmi and Moharram.
Our Embassy in US is closed for Vijaya Dashmi and Moharram. I have sent a message. We will open the Embassy and give visa to your son. https://t.co/W5may5dy0H

Soon after Sushma instructed the Indian Embassy in US, the Embassy requested Takru to share her son’s details so that visa could be granted quickly.
Thank you mam for such a kind gesture. We are so proud of you!
