Swaraj directed the consulate to reach out to Arun Janarthanan after he sought help saying his mother had suffered a stroke and he was faced with lot of difficulties.
"I am sorry to know that your mother has suffered a stroke. I have asked CG (Consulate General) Toronto to sort this out," Swaraj tweeted.
Earlier Janarthanan had tweeted to Swaraj that his mother had suffered a stroke last night and that there is nobody to look after her and that he had some issue with the PIO card.
