"Even if you are stuck on the Mars, Indian Embassy there will help you," is how Swaraj responded today when a member of twitterati made a tongue-in-cheek comment.



Swaraj's reply came after Karan Saini tweeted, "@SushmaSwaraj, I am stuck on mars, food sent via Mangalyaan (987 days ago), is running out, when is Mangalyaan-II being sent @ISRO."



While Swaraj got a lot of praise for her reply, Saini was ridiculed by netizens.


"When someone truly does a great job, the least you can do is 'respect' the person ! Mocking them will get you attention but not respect," tweeted a user.


Following some of the critical tweets, Saini tweeted, "my and our respect for @isro and foreign affairs team is sky- high, my tweet was purely humorous in nature #NationFirstNoCompromise."



The EAM is known for using the social media to reach out to Indians in dire situations and help them.
