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.
