Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday expressed his profound condolences over the demise of former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, mentioning he became a leading light who’ll be always remembered for his services to the nation.
“India mourns the loss of a great scientist, a wonderful president and above all an inspiring individual. Rest in Peace Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam,” Modi said.
“My mind is filled up with a great number of memories, so many interactions with him. Always marvelled at his intelligence, learned so much from him,” he said.
Kalam loved being with people and they, in turn, admired him. He cherished students and spent his final moments among them, Modi said.
“Kalam’s work as president, his life and his words have provided path to the nation,” PM said.
“I have lost a precious guide. India has lost a great son who did wonders making it strong, who invested each moment of his life to empower the youth,” PM said.
“I again bow to the work of the great man… I do not have words to say,” PM Modi said.
