Mangalurean hubby goes solo on honeymoon, Sushma helps wife with passport


Mangaluru/New Delhi, Aug 9 (India Today & Agencies) : Mangalurean husband books tickets for honeymoon abroad, visa is ready, but the wife loses her passport! What happens next is nothing less than from a scene straight from a Bollywood flick. The man rather than panicking, tweets photo of him traveling alone with his wife's photo to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.


Unique Photo

Faizan, a Mangalurean staying in Delhi, travelled solo to Europe without his wife Sana. As Sana lost her passport Faizan decided to tweet to Sushma Swaraj asking for help. He said, "This is how I am travelling with my wife as of now" and a unique photo of Faizan seated along an empty seat where Sana's photo is pasted.


Help Through Social Media

This was not the first tweet he sent to the External Affairs Minister who is known to help citizens through social media. In a series of tweets he pleaded for help. In one such tweet Faizan Patel literally lost his cool saying, "We had got our Schengan visa within two days of applying for it. Getting a new passport seems like a task." But the photo seemed to have done the trick.



When Faizan posted this emotional photo, the Parliament was discussing the all-important GST Bill. But the moment she stepped out and checked her timeline.

Sushma asked Faizan to request his wife Sana to contact her. If that's not all she said, "...I will ensure that she is with you on the next seat".

Faizan, who studied MS Communications at Manipal University, and Sana thanked Sushma Swaraj for her timely help.

 

Prompteness in Help

This is not the first time Sushma Swaraj stepped in. From bringing kidnapped Indian woman Judith D'Souza home from Afghanistan or responding to requests over social media, from stranded Indians in Middle East, she has shown promptness. So much so that someone jokingly complained about his refrigerator to her over Twitter.

But as in this case, Sushma Swaraj stepping in to get a young man spend his honeymoon with his beloved wife has surely won many hearts.

    How could boy alone go for honeymoon? Sushma swaraj did a great job by providing duplicate passport at the last minute so that both can go together for their honeymoon. Well done sushmaji. Your quick action needs to be appreciated.

    The same fellow has most of the times made disgraceful tweets against Sushma and PM Modi. Now he is thanking Sushma but once he is done with his honeymoon he will again show is original behavior. As simple as that.

    Hypocrites. This same guy was passing bad comments about NaMo and SushmaJi a year ago. Now when in need he goes begging to her. Once done, he will again go back abusing anyone who is in BJP. Such people change color like GIRGIT. Please do not give them much publicity. I request Daijiworld to investigate his past postings and expose this hypocrite

    It is all politic gimmick, this is to show people they are working, do you'll think issuing duplicate passport a big issue? beside that will any husband leave his newly wedded wife behind and travel for honeymoon... this is all crap. we are going thru so many big issues why they don't solve it and come on news. This is to cover up all the big problems.

    What is the big deal? There is nothing to publicize, is this anything like a big issue? I will speak out some facts. I know many people who are still struggling to get Passport for their family foreign national who lived in India for 5 years and above without leaving the country. I am sure there maybe someone here who is reading the news also knows some people with similar case.

    Sushmaji’s prompt action in issuing duplicate passport to the honeymooner is indeed something out of the way and highly commendable. But outside the country passports for newborn children are unnecessarily held up merely because of parents not possessing authenticated marriage certificates from India and/or for not entering of spouses’ names in both parents’ passports, while the local authorities (hospitals and Ministry of Health) have no objection in issuing birth certificates to the newborn infants. In the past our embassy used to issue passport on the basis of birth certificates issued by the local authority. Now why these additional documents? Instead of simplifying the formalities, they have complicated the procedure. I request madam Sushmaji to direct Indian missions abroad to simplify the process by issuing passports to newborn children on the basis of birth certificates only as they used to do in the past.

    By coincidence, this government served most to the people of some community which is harsh on our PM and his government,whether it is middleeast crisis or afganisthan incident and one more with pakisthan government, where our government requested pak government to allow embassy official to visit prison where love stricken ,bombay boy is putup..for the last 4 years.

    As long as Sushma Swaraj keeps on doing her job perfectly, but never speaks up her mind in open, she will be the darlings of all sickulars.
    Suresh Prabhu was great till spoke about breeding of terrorists in some parts of the country.
    Parikkar was simple and great man until he opined his views on Amir.

    Whatever the opinion of sickulars be, our ministers will perform and will definitely form the government again in 2019.

    Sushma is one great minister and we need such humble leaders, who attends to each of them in person. No doubt, both Sushma and Gen. V.K.Singh are a great team mate and that they are part of BJP govt. Have not seen anything better than this during the congi rule.
