'Are you real?' Twitter user asks Sushma Swaraj, receives perfect reply
New Delhi: Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has become known for addressing people’s queries and problems rather proactively on Twitter. Along the way, she has also received some ridiculous requests from people asking for help with their refrigerators or cars.
But on Tuesday, Swaraj responded perfectly when she was paid a backhanded compliment by a Twitter user.
@SushmaSwaraj are you real? Just checking. You don't meet requirement of being Indian politician. You are concerned about us(Indians).

Sushma responded to the user’s double-edged comment with utmost calm and no antagonism.
Please do not have such notions. Indian politicians are sensitive and very helpful. https://t.co/9U0Rdxvn8q

@SushmaSwaraj political differences aside you have contributed to the changed perception of being receptive politician
