He further applauded Azad and late Pranab Mukherjee. Speaking on this, he said, “I will never forget Shri Azad's efforts and Shri Pranab Mukherjee's efforts when people from Gujarat were stuck in Kashmir due to a terror attack. Ghulam Nabi Ji was constantly following up, he sounded as concerned as if those stuck were his own family members."

"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 that don't worry, we will figure out something.  But, Ghulam Nabi called me again. He was at the airport," PM Modi recalls Ghulam Nabi Azad's dedication with tears.

He further added, "I would not let you retire, will continue taking your advice. My doors are always open for you."
