How Sushma Swaraj Won The Internet With Her Hilarious Tweet To The Owner Of A Faulty Fridge

Everyone who's had a broken refrigerator in the Indian summers, will understand the desperation. One such owner of a malfunctioning new fridge put out a distressed appeal on Twitter yesterday for help. Nothing wrong with that, except that he tagged Union Ministers Sushma Swaraj and Ram Vilas Paswan in his tweet. Swaraj's response had Twitter in splits.

The user who uses just one name on Twitter -- Venkat -- and tweets from the handle ‏@M_VenkatM, tagged Paswan and Swaraj in his tweet to complain about his faulty Samsung refrigerator.

@irvpaswan @SushmaSwaraj Samsung REFRIGERATOR (RT28K3922RZ/HL), bearing serial # (03E04PAH201870M). @Samsung_IN is forcing me go for repair.

"Dear Ministers, @Samsung_IN sold me a defective refrigerator, they r not ready to replace," he wrote with a screenshot of the company's response attached. Swaraj, who, in her career as Union External Affairs Minister, must have encountered many strange complaints, knew exactly how to handle this unique situation.

Brother I cannot help you in matters of a Refrigerator. I am very busy with human beings in distress. https://t.co/cpC5cWBPcz

@SushmaSwaraj
We can understand what all you have to address...
Men, Refrigerators and some times Men in the Refrigerators. :)
