An Emotional PM Modi

A day after replying to the debate of Motion of Thanks laid out by President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen getting emotional on live television while bidding goodbye  "True Friend" Ghulam Nabi Azad(leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha). 

He would recall his memories with him and has said it will be difficult for anyone who would be replacing him.

"The Person who will replace Ghulam Nabi Ji will have difficultly in matching his work because he was not only concerned about his party but also about the country and the House" said PM Modi.

He added "I hope that country will benefit for him. I thank him for his service. Your opinion and suggestion will always be welcomed."

It was at the time of recalling his conversation with Azad during the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir were PM Modi was seen getting really emotional.

Cracking down occasionally in the middle of the speech, PM Modi said "There was a Terrorist attack on pilgrims from Gujarat in Jammu and Kashmir. Ghulam Nabi Azad called me at first. The phone was not for the information, his tears were not stopping. That time Pranab Mukherjee was the Defence Minister and requested for Indian Air Force jet for transporting the body. He said don't worry, we will figure out something. But Ghulam Nabi,called me again. He was at the airport.

"Posts Come, high offices comes, power comes and how to handle these,one must learn from Ghulam Nabi Azad Ji. I would consider him a true friend."
