A Twitter user called Gavy was recently schooled on the microblogging site after he wrote to Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in broken English.

However, Swaraj, whose instant and witty responses on Twitter have always amused netizens, saved the troubled man from the trolls with a smart comeback.

The Twitter user, a resident of Punjab who is currently residing in Malaysia, sought the Foreign Minister's help to bring his unwell friend back from the foreign land.

He wrote: “I from India in Punjab but I'm now in Malaysia here one my friend mental I want send go back to India, but immigration say we are cannot help you first here treatment your friend after can I send India your friend can you ask immigration (sic).”

Now, evidently, the tweet was rife with grammatical errors. So, another Twitter user – Sourabh Das – decided to school him a bit. He mocked him and asked him to switch to Hindi or Punjabi the next.

Luckily, Sushma Swaraj came to the distraught man’s rescue immediately and responded by saying, "There is no problem. After becoming Foreign Minister, I have learnt to follow English of all accents and grammar."
