The call was not just to inform me of the incident, but his tears were not stopping on the phone. It was of concern, like a family member.”.During his farewell from Rajya Sabha, Azad said that he was proud of being a Hindustani Muslim. In the speech, he said, I am among those fortunate people who never went to Pakistan. When I read about circumstances in Pakistan, I feel proud to be a Hindustani Muslim.

Injustice has been meted out to them. That’s why Ghulam Nabi Azad has resigned as he was unsatisfied with the committee.”.In June 2022, he said his name should not be on Congress’ Rajya Sabha nominations. In an interview, while talking about this, he said, Today a generation gap has come between the youth running the party and us. There is a difference between our thinking and their thinking.
