Social Media is surely taking over any other source of communication and it was lately proved by the interaction between the External Affairs Minister Sushma Sawraj Olympic Gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra over the micro bloging site twitter.
Reportedly the shooter lost his passport on his way to Rio De Janeiro for the coming up Olympics 2016. He was seen taking it to twitter and asking Sushma Sawraj to help him out and drag him out this problem as soon as possible. Later the External Affairs Minister was seen actively replying to Abhinav’s tweets and not only promised him to help at the earliest but also asked him to beg a gold medal for the country to which he replied that he would try his best and won’t leave any stone unturned.
Have a look at the conversation that took place on twitter between the two:

And Finally when the external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj helped the shooter, she tweeted,
