Two Pakistanis to be given medical visa: Sushma Swaraj

Both patients require liver transplants

India's Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj announced on Thursday that India will be granting two more medical visas to ailing Pakistanis.

Responding to Ali Asadullah Shah who had tweeted to the minister, she said, "We are giving visa for your father's liver transplant surgery in India." Shah had earlier requested Swaraj for a visa for his father's liver transplant and his deteriorating health.

The second request was also for a liver transplant. Naseem Akhtar, who had requested for an appointment on October 20, had been waiting for a response too. Her son tweeted out to Swaraj, and she responded in the positive.
