New Delhi, May 10 (TNS): A student from occupied Jammu and Kashmir with “Indian occupied Kashmir” set as his Twitter location was schooled by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday after he asked for help from the Philippines.

Sheikh Ateeq, who tweets from his @SAteEQ019, requested Swaraj to help him with getting a new passport and said he needed to get back to his “home” as his health was deteriorating.

“I am from J&K doing medicine course here in Philippines my passport got damaged I applied for new one 1 month ago I request u pls help me to get it as i literally need to go home for medical checkup (sic),” Ateeq tweeted.

Swaraj, who active on Twitter, replied: “Your profile says you are from ‘Indian occupied Kashmir’. There is no place like that,” Swaraj tweeted.
