The suicide attack had on July 1 killed 19 people, including 13 members from the Afghan Sikh community.
“I have spoken to Sardar Iqbal Singh injured in Afghanistan blast and now admitted in AIIMS Trauma Centre. He is progressing well and should be discharged next week. We have offered him all help and assistance,” Swaraj tweeted.
Swaraj had met the relatives of some of the victims of the terror attack last week.
