As foreign minister, she brought lot of wit and verve to the way she handled requests on Twitter
From reuniting families to helping citizens recover their passports and travel home safe, Swaraj's Twitter use had really set the digital template for future foreign ministers

During her stint as external affairs minister, Sushma Swaraj, who passed away on Tuesday night, kept Twitter buzzing with her unusual approach to solving problems of Indians stranded in foreign countries.

From reuniting families to helping citizens recover their passport and travel home safe, every request for help, whether small or big, would get her attention and be instantly resolved if it's anywhere in her domain as foreign minister.
