By YKA Staff: 

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s Twitter timeline is always buzzing. The way she makes use of Twitter to help Indians across the world is no secret. In fact, even the Opposition has taken note with AAP’s Bhagwant Maan saying, “I want to thank Sushma Swaraj ji. She is doing an exceptionally good job to save our people abroad.” Maan said this in the Lok Sabha referring to how Swaraj rescued 13 members of his constituency who had been enslaved in Saudi Arabia.

Along with the Railway Ministry which is also doing some noteworthy work over Twitter, Swaraj’s presence online is also a good example of how citizens and the government can directly connect with each other.

From reuniting families to helping citizens recover their passport and travel home safe, every request for help, whether small or big, gets the minister’s attention. And in this spirit of accountability, check out what she has been able to achieve in the last few months.

1. When she rescued 168 Indians trapped in Iraq by acting on a video that was tweeted to her.
