External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's remark came a day after a Pakistan woman cancer patient sought her help for a medical visa.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday hit out at her Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz saying, he hasn't shown courtesy to acknowledge her letter for Pakistan visa for Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother.
Swaraj's remark came a day after a Pakistan woman cancer patient sought her help for a medical visa.
"I have my sympathies for all Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa for their treatment in India. I am sure Mr Sartaj Aziz also has consideration for the nationals of his country. All that we require is his recommendation for the grant of medical visa to Pakistan nationals," Sushma Swaraj said in a series of tweets.
The External Affairs Minister also said that she sees no reason why Aziz should hesitate to give his recommendation for nationals of his own country.
Stating that India also has a visa application pending for Kulbhushan Jadhav's mother Avantika Jadhav who wants to meet her son, she added, "I wrote a personal letter to Mr Sartaj Aziz for the grant of her visa to Pakistan. However, Mr Aziz has not shown the courtesy to even acknowledge my letter."
However, Swaraj assured Pakistan nationals that they will get a visa if they have a recommendation. "I assure Pakistan nationals seeking medical visa with a recommendation from Mr Sartaj Aziz, we will be issued the visa immediately," Swaraj added.
On Sunday, a woman suffering from cancer in Pakistan had urged Swaraj to help her visit India for treatment after her visa application was reportedly rejected by the Indian embassy here.
Faiza Tanveer, 25, is suffering from a recurrent ameloblastoma, an oral tumour which is aggressive in nature.
She planned to visit the Inderprastha Dental College and Hospital (IDCH) in Ghaziabad and paid Rs 10 lakh in advance for treatment, according to a Pakistani media report.
But the Indian High Commission in Islamabad rejected her medical visa application, the report said.
