“I want to donate my kidney to you and my blood group is O positive,” the traffic constable Gaurav Singh Dangi from the Madhya Pradesh tweeted.

“Sushmaji is a good leader and we need her to be well and that is why I offered my kidney,  Dangi added.

In fact, Dangi is not alone, there are hundreds others who have offered to donate their kidney to Sushma Swaraj. 

Among the many who offered to donate their kidneys is a Baloch activist Ahmar Mustikhan.

“It will be a great honor if my Baloch kidney may help our sister Sushma Swaraj, this will be a small token of thanks for raising our issue at UN,” Mustikhan wrote on twitter.

Overwhelmed by the huge response, Sushma Swaraj tweeted that, “My heartfelt thanks for your kind words and good wishes. Some friends have also offered their kidneys for my transplant. I have no words to express my deep sense of gratitude.”
