Dubai, Jan 20: Tweets from Indian external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj helped an Indian woman expedite a visit visa to visit her critical husband admitted at a hospital in Dubai, UAE.

Diplomatic missions, prompted by a tweet from the Swaraj, intervened to help process a UAE visit visa for Garima (Twitter handle: @agg_garim) over the weekend. Garima's tweets addressed at the minister revealed that her husband had suffered a brain stroke, and required an urgent visa under medical emergency.

Garima, who has been actively tweeting about her husband's situation since January 17, revealed that her husband could've suffered an Ischaemic stroke.

She tweeted @SushmaSwaraj on Thursday night, "Dear @SushmaSwaraj mam, my husband is in critical condition in Dubai, brain stroke. I applied for an urgent visa under medical emergency. Though I hope the visa should come any moment, mam, please help. Mam, tomorrow UAE embassy is closed for Friday. Please help."

Her tweet was retweeted over 1,500 times, and the minister replied to her tweets early Saturday morning, saying, "I am sorry to know this. Rest assured we will definitely help you." Tagging the Consulate General of India's Twitter handle, Swaraj urged Consulate General Vipul to look into the matter. She tweeted again saying, "I have also asked Vipul our @cgidubai to provide all help to your husband in the hospital and keep you informed."

Officials at the CGI revealed that her visa has been processed and she can travel to the UAE in the next couple of hours. An official at the Consulate said, "Our representatives have also visited the hospital and met their relatives. We will continue to provide them with help." Replying to Khaleej Times, Garima also revealed that her husband's condition has improved since Friday afternoon and is expected to leave to Dubai Friday night.

Two contradtictions. One is Modi and another one is Sushma. Modi stands for communalism and safforn terror. Sushma stands for great humanity.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 28: A man from Kerala was among the terrorists affiliated to Islamic State (IS) who allegedly attacked a Gurdwara in Kabul earlier this week in which 27 people were killed.

The IS has claimed that one of the suicide bombers was Abu Khalid al-Hindi.

According to sources, investigation agencies on Friday have identified him as 29-year-old Mohammed Sajid Kuthirummal of Padne in Kasargod. He was among the 14 persons, who left from Kerala to join IS in Nangarhar province of Afghanistan.

"IS had released the name Abu Khalid al-Hindi through its media agency soon after the attack. The photograph of him holding a rifle was also published by IS in their propaganda magazine Al Naba. From that, we have identified the person as Mohammed Sajid Kuthirummal. We are investigating the matter and in touch with the investigating agencies in Afghanistan for tracking his trail," sources told ANI.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe had earlier revealed that Mohammed Sajid was recruited by Abdul Rashid Abdulla of Chandera, who was killed in Afghanistan last year.

Sajid worked as a shop keeper in a gulf country and returned to Kerala. Based on a complaint by Sajid's father Mahamood, the FIR was registered at Chendara Police Station, Kasaragod in 2016 regarding Sajid joining IS and leaving for Afghanistan.

He was among the 14 member team that left from Kerala to join IS in Khorasan Province' in Nangarhar.

ANI had earlier reported that two of these members Ayesha alias Sonia Sebastian and Fathima alias Nimisha who were in IS had expressed their interest in returning to Kerala. Out of 14, seven including Sajid is dead.

Mangaluru, Jan 5: Against the backdrop of Mangalore violence of December 19, Additional Director General of Police of Karnataka Amar Kumar Pandey visited the city and held a meeting with senior police officers.

According to senior police officials here on Sunday, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District Muslim Central Committee had planned to hold a protest against CAA at Nehru Maidan while the SKSSF had called for anti-CAA protest at State Bank area.

Though both the protests had been called off, there was an apprehension of a repeat incident of December 19 violence and hence the ADGP visited the city at the behest of state government and monitored the situation here for the entire day on Saturday.

The ADGP was unhappy that despite initial inputs and the imposition of Section 144 in the city, the situation on that day escalated to a level where police had to resort to firing only in this city.
