Without mentioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress leader, Ghulam Nabi, Azad expressed gratitude towards the former for his emotional adieu to him and said that "those who know me in-depth and saw my work over the years became emotional during farewell speech" in Rajya Sabha.
"We understand some people superficially while others in-depth.
Those who understood me in-depth and saw my work over the years became emotional yesterday.
I am thankful to everyone.
I would also thank people who messaged me, called me and tweeted for me," said Azad.
