Ghulam Nabi Azad breaks down in his Rajya Sabha's farewell speech

After PM Modi, Ghulam Nabi Azad broke down in his Rajya Sabha's farewell speech. The retiring Rajya Sabha members from Jammu & Kashmir urged the house that issues of J&K should be considered and statehood should be restored soon for the benefit of the people of the state.

Azad thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his kind words and also said that he first cried when Sanjay Gandhi, then Indira Gandhi and later Rajiv Gandhi all died unnatural deaths and he also wept after a cyclone in Odisha.

Prime Minister Modi also got emotional while bidding farewell to Azad and saluted him in the Rajya Sabha. Azad is one among four members retiring from the Upper House this month.
