Rahul Gandhi condoled Kalam’s death

Congress vice president president Rahul Gandhi said Kalam was a man of many parts — a scientist, an inventor, a visionary thinker and a teacher.

“Through his life and work, he ignited the minds of young people. As president, he won over the hearts and minds of an entire nation with his warmth and wisdom.

“He will be missed dearly and remembered fondly by every Indian,” Rahul Gandhi said..

India’s most loved former president APJ Abdul Kalam passed away on Monday after he suddenly fell ill during an event in Shillong.

The 84-year-old president breathed his last at 6:40 pm following a massive cardiac arrest while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management in Shillong. Kalam, who loved to interact with students and encourage them to work for the country, passed away while interacting to students.

He was rushed to the Bethani Hospital. After putting in their best efforts, doctors could not revive his heart beat. He was later declared brought dead.

Born on October 15 1931 in Rameswaram, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam made his mark as one of India’s top space scientists before taking over as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007.
