'Are you real?' Twitter user asks MEA Sushma Swaraj, receives perfect reply

New Delhi: Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has become well known for addressing people’s problems proactively on social networking site Twitter. However, she has also received some ridiculous requests from people asking for assistance with their fridge or cars. But MEA minister responded perfectly and calmly when she was paid a backhanded compliment by a Twitter user, on Tuesday. With no antagonism, Sushma responded to the user’s double-edged comment.

 

@SushmaSwaraj are you real? Just checking. You don't meet requirement of being Indian politician. You are concerned about us(Indians).

Please do not have such notions. Indian politicians are sensitive and very helpful. https://t.co/9U0Rdxvn8q — Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) August 23, 2016

Since replying some 14 hours ago, over 350 times, Ms Swaraj's tweet has been retweeted. She received more than 1,200 'likes' and a lot of praise and adulation from Twitter users.

@SushmaSwaraj we wish all politicians in India become sensitive like U and help people in distress and make them feel proud of their nation
