She is quickly responding to the requests that come to the External Affairs ministry and she has helped hundreds of Indian citizens who sought the help of her ministry.

Apart from her empathetic nature, Sushma is known for her tough stance on some issues. She is quite active on Twitter and she replies to the netizens who approach her with a genuine concern. Recently an Indian student named Sheikh Ateeq took to Twitter and sought Sushma Swaraj help. Ateeq is presently studying MBBS in Manila, Philippines.

Ateeq said that he had applied for a new passport at the Indian Embassy in the Philippines a month ago to visit his home in Kashmir for a medical checkup. He requested Sushma to direct the officials process his request soon. Sushma replied to his request without any delay, she replied "If you are from J&K state, we will definitely help you. But your profile says you are from 'Indian occupied Kashmir'. There is no place like that." Ateeq immediately understood the retort and removed 'Indian Occupied Kashmir' from his bio. Sushma responded that she is glad that Ateeq changed his profile and she has directed the Indian Embassy officials in the Philippines to process his request without any delay.
