Kuwait-based singer Mubarak Al-Rashid on Tuesday created a soulful atmosphere and won the hearts of the audience, including External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, when he sang a few lines of Mahatma Gandhi's favourite bhajan - Vaishnav Jan To. Al-Rashid's perfection earned the applause of the audience, including Swaraj, who was mesmerised by his singing.

Lauding him, Swaraj, while interacting with the Indian community in Kuwait, said: "The two songs from Bollywood he previously chose were very difficult. But he just sang it so effortlessly and with ease. I was so pleasantly surprised by the way he sang. And he sang - 'Vaishnav Jan To' without even having any paper. The fact that he still remembers has made all of us proud." On her maiden visit to Kuwait, Swaraj said that for the 3.9 million blue-collared workers in the Gulf nation, relief is just a tweet away.
