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.

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned the decision of the HRD Ministry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism from Class 11 political science syllabus, stating that this will "deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy".

"I strongly condemn the decision of @HRDMinistry to drop chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism. This will deprive a generation of students from understanding the important pillars of Indian democracy. #Stop Saffronisation Of Education," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

The Congress leader further alleged that BJP does not believe in the principles of citizenship, secularism and federalism.

"Chapters on citizenship, secularism and federalism are dropped from Class 11 Pol Science. syllabus. Does this explain something? Yes, it explains that @BJP4India doesn't believe in these principles and validates its past behaviour," he said in another tweet.

Earlier in the day, Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank rejected criticism over alleged conspiracy in CBSE's decision to reduce the syllabus of schools due to COVID-19 outbreak and urged the critics to "leave politics out of education".

"There has been a lot of uninformed commentary on the exclusion of some topics from #CBSESyllabus. The problem with these comments is that they resort to sensationalism by connecting topics selectively to portray a false narrative," the Union Minister tweeted.

"It is our humble request:#Education is our sacred duty towards our children. Let us leave politics out of education and make our politics more educated," he added.

The CBSE has revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII during the academic session 2020-21 in the wake of the situation created by COVID-19.

In a circular issued to all the heads of the institutions affiliated to it, the CBSE had said that the revision of syllabi has been done due to the extraordinary situation prevailing in the country and different parts of the world.
