Sushma Swaraj takes a subtle jab at Sartaj Aziz over medical visa, Kulbhushan Jadhav
"I have my sympathies for all Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa for their treatment in India," Swaraj said.
"I am sure Mr.Sartaj Aziz also has consideration for the nationals of his country," an ensuing tweet read.
Clarifying her stand, she said, "All that we require is his recommendation for the grant of medical visa to Pakistan nationals."
"I see no reason why should he hesitate to give his recommendation for nationals of his own country," Swaraj added.
In ensuing tweets, Swaraj slammed Aziz's mentality and the lack of discipline and diplomacy.
Taking up the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, she said, "We also have a visa application pending for an Indian national Mrs.Avantika Jadhav who wants to meet her son in Pakistan," adding, "against whom they have pronounced a death sentence."
Jadhav, who is presently locked up in a cell in Pakistan, has been sentenced to death for allegedly spying.
India however managed to put a hold on the order by successfully appealing to the International Court of Justice.
"I wrote a personal letter to Mr.Sartaj Aziz for the grant of her visa to Pakistan," she said.
"However, Mr.Aziz has not shown the courtesy even to acknowledge my letter," Swaraj alleged.
"But I assure Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa with a recommendation from Mr.Sartaj Aziz, we will issue the visa immediately,' Swaraj added.
