External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today hit back against a lesser-known outfit Hindu Jagaran Sangha for accusing her of taking care of visa requests "by Muslims only".
"India is my country. Indians are my people. The caste, state, language or religion is not relevant for me," she said in her tweet.
The Minister's strong retort came to a tweet by Hindu Jagaran Sangha-- which posts at the tweeter handle @HinduJagoran.
"Modi Ji @narendramodi Your Sushma @SushmaSwaraj,Only take care Of Muslim Visa. But Hindus are getting harrased to get India Visa. VERY UPSET(sic)," the Sangha had tweeted.
