India issues visa to Pakistani baby for treatment
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani infant named Rohaan has been issued a medical visa for the treatment of his heart by The Indian High Commission in Islamabad.
Twitteratis ran a plea campaign asking Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj to issue a visa for the baby boy to be treated in India. Shusma Swaraj tweeted assuring the family a medical visa for India.
Rohaan’s parents created a Facebook page in hope for receiving donations for the operation procedure. Rohaan was born with a rare heart congenital defect which requires urgent surgery.
The family was helped by good Samaritans online who forwarded and tweeted pleading Indian embassy in Pakistan to grant them a medical visa.
“When I hug my child, he smiles. He knows he is safe with me. I want to save him, I really do.
Help in visa”, Rohaan’s mother Mehwish Mukhtar had tweeted.—INP
