My world has shattered today.. Really it has

Rest in Peace Sir.
Your thoughts will keep igniting minds.
India was blessed to have a son like you.
I hope common Indians will find a little bit of Kalam in themselves and your tireless work will be an inspiration for generations to come.
May God grant your soul eternal peace.

The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has expressed heartfelt condolences over the sad demise of former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

In a statement, the President said;

“The passing away of former President of India, Bharat Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is a deep personal loss for me. I will always cherish my long association with him.

As President of India, Dr. Kalam was immensely popular and greatly admired. His warmth, humility and simple ways endeared him to one and all. He had a special love for children and sought to constantly inspire the youth of our country through motivational speeches and personal interaction.

Dr. Kalam will be long remembered for his passion for science and innovation and his contributions as an eminent scientist, administrator, educationist and writer.

Dr. Kalam’s achievements as leader of India’s defence research establishment vastly enhanced the safety and security of our nation. For his tireless services to the nation, he was honored with numerous prestigious awards.

In his passing away, we have lost a great son of India who dedicated his entire life for the welfare of the motherland and its people. Dr. Kalam was a people’s President during his lifetime and will remain so even after his death.”

Sad that a lot of Indians are cursing this man for being Muslim.. Modis India

Post reported.

@Irfan Baloch @Jango @waz Please do something about this guy. His comments are beyond any decency.

He uses this sad moment and our grief to take potshots at us.

Just look at this thread, all the posts have conveyed mourning and appreciation for the great man and here comes the troll.

Couldn't some people forget their disgusting agenda for a day or so.

It is Such a contradiction ...

...A very Skinny , Short, soft spoken man who Physically cant even defend himself ... Made the strongest Defence for his country... our Missile System...

He proves that never underestimate the power of a lone Patriotic Man...

Like our PM ... He didnt marry and stayed single to completely dedicate his Life towards his Nation... who worked even after he retired...
