In an emotional farewell to Ghulam Nabi Azad in Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished the best to his 'true friend' for his future endeavours, while saying that he will continue to take the advice of veteran Congress leader. Speaking during the farewell of Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Gulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday, PM Modi choked up as he recalled an episode when the two were chief ministers.

"I will never forget Ghulam Nabi Azad's efforts and Shri Pranab Mukherjee's efforts when people from Gujarat were stuck in Kashmir due to a terror attack. Ghulam Nabi Ji was constantly following up, he sounded as concerned as if those stuck were his own family members," an emotional PM Modi said.
