Sushma Swaraj Brings Home An Indian Stranded In Dubai Who Walked 1000 Km For Return Tickets

Sushma Swaraj is truly a people’s minister. Last, we heard the External Affairs Minister was hospitalised for a kidney transplant at AIIMS and was helping people while she was at it. From the hospital bed, if I may add! And now, it sure seems like there is no stopping her.

Sushma recently, helped Jagannathan Selvaraj, a stranded Indian in Dubai, return home to his family. He had reportedly walked 1000 km to attend court proceedings in a bid to obtain a flight ticket back home.

Selvaraj from Tamil Nadu began his court journey after his mother died in Tamil Nadu two years ago and he was denied permission to go and attend her funeral. He told Khaleej Times,

 “I had to walk 2 hours in the morning to reach the court in Dubai. I used to get up early morning at 4 am on the days the court was to hear my case.

Every 15 days, I had to walk all the way to the court because I did not have the money to pay for bus or taxi.”

The minister, after probing the matter with the help of the Indian Embassy in Dubai, took to twitter to share the news of the man’s homecoming.

We have brought him back to India and sent him to his village. He went up and down to the court 20 times over a year. That made it 1000 Kms. https://t.co/UGxjGE1Uhf

I truly, sincerely wish we had more like her! Wish you a speedy recovery, Sushmaji! God speed.
