Sushma Swaraj may have won a lot of brickbats in Parliament this Monsoon Session, trying to defend herself in the controversy over Lalit Modi's travel documents, but the Foreign Minister finally found some praise on social media for her intervention in the rescue of a girl in UAE.

On August 22, user Dev Tamboli tweeted his predicament to Sushma Swaraj, seeking help from her in rescuing his sister, who was 'locked in a room' in UAE.




Within minutes, Swaraj assured him help. She got in touch with the Ambassador in UAE to help Tamboli. Tamboli got a call from the Ambassador within 15 minutes of Swaraj's tweet.




By next day, Swaraj tweeted that the government has been able to rescue Tamboli's sister with the help of local police. "She is being moved to a shelter home run by Indian Embassy in Dubai," Swaraj said.




Twitter users heaped praise on the minister, describing her as "worthy, proactive, and helpful".













But this isn't the first time that Swaraj has used Twitter to help Indians stranded abroad.

From helping those stuck in conflict zones to getting people in touch with their children and their parents, Swaraj and her team used Twitter actively to reach out to Indians in times of crisis.

Here are 7 times Sushma Swaraj proved she is a ‘Helpful' External Affairs Minister.
