Lashing out at Rahul Gandhi for the latter's recent Twitter post criticising him and four other ex-Congress leaders and linking them with the billionaire Gautam Adani, Azad had told Asianet News: "It is shameful that Rahul Gandhi is saying this. Their entire family has, all along, had an association with businessmen. That includes him (Rahul Gandhi). I have a great respect for the family. I can give you ten examples of where he would go and meet -- even outside the country -- to meet people who are undesirable businessmen."
