An India-Pakistan love story has had a happy ending after Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj got her visa.
Ms Swaraj asking for help was, tweeted by Naresh Tewani, from Jodhpur in north India, after his Pakistani bride Priya Bachchani’s visa was delayed.
The minister ensured that all 35 members of Ms Bachchani’s family got visas to attend the wedding on Monday.
Both families said they hoped the minister’s gesture would help ease ties.
Pakistan and India accuse each other of raising hostilities along the Line of Control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir.
“Love prevails finally. Love predominates in the nations and that is why we’re here,” the bride’s father, Giridharlal Bachchani, told BBC Urdu’s Shakeel Akhtar.
The bridegroom’s dad said he was alleviated after facing “some nervous weeks due to visa delays”.
The ball began rolling only when the groom sought Ms Swaraj’s help.
