India has indeed lost one of the iconic leaders of all time and the passing away of former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has left a tremendous void, said George Abraham, Chairman of the Indian National Overseas Congress, USA.
In
a sea of anguish, sufferings and disappointments, he was truly an
inspirational voice that provided positive energy to the common man
especially the youth. His contribution to the scientific advancement of
India is quite unparalleled.
He will be remembered forever as a
noble soul who has dedicated his life moving India forward not only in
the field of science and technology but also as someone who lived a life
as an example to everyone around him.
As Chairman of the reception
committee that hosted him in New York, I had the fortune to interact
with him at a personal level and I will cherish those memories for ever.
