New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh Monday aimed at former party veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad who alleged that Gandhi family had ties with “undesirable businessmen.”

Congress’ General Secretary in-charge Communications Ramesh tweeted a post saying, “With every passing day, Ghulam Nabi Azad falls to new depths to demonstrate his true character and his loyalty to Mr. Modi. His contemptible statements on the Congress leadership reflect his desperation to remain relevant. I can only say that he is PATHETIC.”
