As its time to bid adieu to the scientist President of India, one thing is sure, I will definitely miss encouraging speeches made by him. May be this is a blessing in disguise and he may get time to write some more great books as he had done in the past which I can read.
Look what Prez has to say in his last public speech:
‘I will go with two small suitcases’
I will go with two small suitcases,†said an emotional president APJ Abdul Kalam on Thursday as he prepared to leave Rashtrapati Bhawan with a desire to see India as a developed nation by 2020. In possibly his last public function as the President, Mr Kalam had a piece of advice — ‘don’t take gifts that come with a purpose and build families with character and good value system’. “On the 25th, I will leave Rashtrapati Bhawan… I will go with two small suitcases,†he said in his address at the India Islamic Cultural Centre (IICC) here.
The citizens of India are crying at the top of their voice to rule out the controversial lady from the presidential throne but the so called Indian, Mrs Sonia Rajiv Gandhi cares a damn to what the citizens of this country feel. I feel sad that my country is being ruled by the whims of Miss Italiano who loves being a show runner and can go to any depth of cheap politics to quench her ego.
Even I would love to see a lady as the president but we can not back a candidate taking the plea that she is a lady and by promoting her we are up lifting the woman world. Placing someone who has numerous charges filed against her at the highest position of the country is unjustifiable. ‘The President’ is not an individual identity but he/ she is the identity of the nation. To represents one of the fastest and the most talked about economy in the International arena is not an easy task and definitely not for someone who is engrossed with her personal commitments.
I personally feel that Mr Kalam deserves kudos for showing the utmost humility during his Presidential tenure. Just saying “thanks†would be too little an appreciation for the image built by him of my country in the minds of rest of the world. “Build a better and independent India†had been his mantra throughout his tenure which has also helped in imbibing civic sense in the citizens of my country. Furthermore, the urge to be self reliance and meet our consumption needs must have made some impact on the government to strengthen the infrastructure or we may not be able to sustain the growth. The best tribute we can pay to Dr. Kalam would be to visit the website www.knowpratibhapatil.com which unveils all truth about charges against the prospective President with facts and figures. There is a pun (nopratibhapatil) intended in the name of the website which was launched a fortnight back to show discontent for the lady who does not in real sense justifies her name. I am not writing anything about the charges against her as my readers must have already read about them in media reports. If you are a starter and want to dive in details do click on the above stated website and the truth will be unveiled to bite you.
The most populated and democratic country in the world could only find a candidate for the highest position who is tainted with charges. The world is mocking at us and we don’t have a say in the most controversial Presidential election in the history of India. This is a sad story of my country and one thing is for sure, ‘It happens only in India’…..let me put it in a better way, ‘it can happen only in India’.
I wish she can live up to her name and keep the integrity of my country intact.
