PM Narendra Modi's tears at Ghulab Nabi Azad's Rajya Sabha farewell last year have been making news again ever since Mr Azad left Congress last week
Former union minister Ghulab Nabi Azad today explained why Prime Minister Narendra Modi teared up in Parliament during a farewell speech when Mr Azad's Rajya Sabha tenure ended last year. The tears have been making news again ever since Mr Azad left the Congress last week.
"Read the contents of his speech. PM Modi was not talking about being sad at my leaving the House. He was talking about an incident," said Mr Azad.
"Some tourists from Gujarat had died in a grenade attack in Kashmir (in 2006), when I was chief minister there. Modi saheb, who was chief minister of Gujarat, called my office. But I was choked up, crying at how brutal the killings were. I could not speak with him. He heard me crying as my staff brought the phone close to me," he recounted.
The attack happened on May 25, 2006, in Srinagar, in which four tourists were killed and six were injured.
