A pale of gloom has set in the entire nation with the sad demise of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, former President of India. Sharing the grief with Nation, I express my heartfelt condolences to not only the family but also to every citizen of this country who loved him as their own.
The great soul departed, doing what he best liked, delivering a lecture at IIM Shillong and inspiring the students. Humanist at heart, his humility, simplicity infectious positive spirit who reached out to the powerful and the powerless with the same amplitude, changed the contours of the Office of President, giving him the most deserving title of ‘Peoples President’.
Saddened at the loss of one of the finest human beings, a great son of India, I express my condolences and pray to the almighty for the great soul to rest in peace.
