That Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj helps many people who tweet to her for help is no news but this time, when a citizen sought for aid, he not only got it but also a lot of backlash from Twitter.

It so happened that Faizan Patel, a Twitter user, on Monday tweeted his picture with a placard of his wife's photo stating how he is travelling without his wife.
This is how I am travelling with my wife as of now. @SushmaSwaraj @MEAIndia @MEAQuery pic.twitter.com/igeSwcfWkZ

Five days back, he had also posted a picture about him travelling to Italy without his wife.

To which Swaraj replied
Ask your wife to contact me. I will ensure that she is with you on the next seat. pic.twitter.com/sktnOMkg0a @faizanpatel

Overwhelmed, he thanked the minister.
Thanks to @SushmaSwaraj, the passport is almost issued. Now the problem is the next available date at the VFS is on Thursday.

Minister par excellence @SushmaSwarajBJP I am glad we have you. You're a beacon of hope.

Sweet.
But there is a twist in the tale. The unforgiving Twitterati dug out old tweets of Patel and slammed him for his harsh words used for the minister and others. Here are some of them.

The tweet that this crook @faizanpatel was quick to delete.

After getting backlash, Patel still had something to say to his detractors
Seems like my Twitter app will crash any time soon. People are digging all my old tweets when infact I did praise Sushmaji a week ago 1/2
