NEW DELHI: Breaking his silence, former health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday rubbished claims of the head of AIIMS' forensic medicine department that he was pressured to manipulate the autopsy report of Sunanda Pushkar and questioned Sudhir Gupta's credibility, saying he can "shoot his mouth off anytime against anybody". 

"Can I even think of such a stupid thing? Media knows me, entire country knows what kind of person Ghulam Nabi Azad is...I can't even think of doing such a criminal thing," Azad told reporters at Congress headquarters.
