"Status quo is not the answer," External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today sternly told Delhi's Regional Passport Office after it replied on Twitter to a passport applicant that there was "status quo" on her police clearance certificate.
The Indian woman had asked Swaraj, India's Consulate in Vancouver and the Regional Passport Office Delhi on Twitter to look into the matter of her police clearance certificate (PCC) as her daughter's visa was expiring soon and she had to bring her to Canada from India.
The woman said more than three months had passed and still there was no response.
The RPO Delhi told her that PCC was under process. A few days later when she again asked about the progress in the case, RPO Delhi tweeted "status quo".
To this, Swaraj replied, "Status quo is not the answer. We must end this status quo. Please do the needful and help her."
