Salute to legend

*Mr. PM Nair IAS (Secretary to the President of India) on Late DR. APJ Abdul Kalam*
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹


WE SHALL NOT SEE ANOTHER APJ ABDUL KALAM LIKE OUR LATE PRESIDENT :

DD Podhigai telecast an interview with Mr P M Nair retired IAS officer who was the secretary to Dr Kalam Sir when he was the President. I summarise the points he spoke in voice choked with emotion. Mr Nair authored a book titled *"Kalam Effect"*


1. Dr Kalam used to receive costly gifts whenever he went abroad as it is customary for many nations to give gifts to the visiting Head of state. Refusing the gift would become an insult to the nation and an embarrassment for India. So, he received them and on his return, Dr Kalam asked the gifts to be photographed and then catalogued and handed over to the archives. Afterwards, he never even looked at them. He did not take even a pencil from the gifts received when he left Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

2. In 2002, the year Dr Kalam took over, the Ramadan month came in July-August. it was a regular practice for the President to host an iftar party. Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair why he should host a party to people who are already well fed and asked him to find out how much would be the cost. Mr Nair told it costs around Rs. 22 lakhs. Dr Kalam asked him to donate that amount to a few selected orphanages in the form of food, dresses and blankets. The selection of orphanages was left to a team in Rashtrapathi Bhavan and Dr Kalam had no role in it. After the selection was made, Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair to come inside his room and gave him a cheque for Rs 1 lakh. He said that he is giving some amount from his personal savings and this should not be informed to anyone. Mr Nair was so shocked that he said "sir, I will go outside and tell everyone . People should know that here is a man who not only donated what he should have spent but he is giving his own money also". Dr Kalam though he was a devout Muslim did not have Iftar parties in the years in which he was the President.

3. Dr Kalam did not like "yes sir" type of people. Once when the Chief Justice of India had come and on some point Dr Kalam expressed his view and asked Mr Nair, "Do you agree?" Mr Nair said "No sir, i do not agree with you".

The Chief Justice was shocked and could not believe his ears. It was impossible for a civil servant to disagree with the president and that too so openly. Mr Nair told him that the President would question him afterwards why he disagreed and if the reason was logical 99% he would change his mind.

4. Dr Kalam invited 50 of his relatives to come to Delhi and they all stayed in Rashtrapathi Bhavan. He organised a bus for them to go around the city which was paid for by him. No official car was used. All their stay and food was calculated as per the instructions of Dr Kalam and the bill came to Rs 2 lakhs which he paid. In the history of this country no one has done it.

Now, wait for the climax, Dr Kalam's elder brother stayed with him in his room for the entire one week as Dr Kalam wanted his brother to stay with him. When they left, Dr Kalam wanted to pay rent for that room also. Imagine a President of country paying rent for the room in which he is staying. This was any way not agreed by the staff who thought the honesty was getting too much to handle !!!.

5. When Kalam sir was to leave Rashtrapathi Bhavan at the end of the tenure, every staff member went and met him and paid their respects. Mr Nair went to him alone as his wife had fractured her leg and was bed ridden. Dr Kalam asked why his wife did not come. He replied that she was in bed due to an accident. next day, Mr.Nair saw lot of police men around his house and asked what had happened. They said that the President of India was coming to visit him in his house. He came and met his wife and chatted for some time. Mr Nair says that no president of any country would visit a civil servant's house and that too on such a simple pretext.

I thought I should give the details as many of you may not have seen the telecast and so it may be useful.

The younger brother of AJP Abdul Kalam runs an Umbrella repairing shop. When Mr. Nair met him during Kalam Funeral, he touched his feet, in token of respect for both Mr. Nair and Brother.

Such information should be widely shared on social media as Main stream media will not show this because it doesn't carries the so called TRP values.

माननीय सुरेश राव जी

👉👉👈👈 आज सुबह 7:30 को हमारे अखिल भारतीय सह सरकार्यवाह , अखिल भारतीय शारीरिक प्रमुख एवं पश्चिम क्षेत्र के क्षेत्र प्रचारक रहे ऐसे माननीय सुरेश राव जी केतकर का आज सुबह 7:30 बजे लातूर विवेकानंद अस्पताल में निधन हुआ है आज दोपहर 12:30 पर नागपुर में उनकी अंतिम यात्रा रहेगी
सुरेरावजी कमँठ , सहज, स्पष्ट कहनेवाले और नियमीतता के आग्रही थे.
शारीरीक में सहजभी कचचापन नहीं चलता था। अपने बौद्धिक भी मुद्दे पर होते और अंतमे सार बतातेथे। अपनी खानेकी दवाइयाँ का समयानुसार सख़्त पालन करना स्वभाव था। वडोदरा के संघ शिक्षा वगँ में साथ रहेगा और उनकी स्वास्थ्य की चिंता करने का मौक़ा मूली था। कायँकताँ पुस्तक की बातें स्टेट बताइ है। BSc BEd होने के बाद प्रचारक निकलना औरशरु में महाराष्ट्र बादमे उतर प्रदेश में संघ कायँ करके कंइ कमँठ कायँकताँ खड़े किये । क्रीड़ा भारती, संस्कार भारतीऔर किसान संघ काम खड़ा करनेम् अहम भूमिका रही।

वो पारकीनसोनीझम की बिमारीसे ग्रस्त थे। गत वषँ उन्हें लातूरमे विवेकानंद रुगणालयमे मिलना हुआ था। वैसे कुछ बोल नहीं पाते लेकिन भाव दीखता था। अस्पतालकर्मी गुर्राती प्राथँनामे भी आये। डो अशोकराज कुरेदी बताते थे अकबर अस्पताल की ट्रस्ट बेठकमे आने के लीए तैयार हो गये। स्वास्थ्य के नगर रखते ना बोलने पर ओडीयो रेकोडीँग भीजवाइ।
वंदन है ऐसे पवित्र आत्मा को जो संघ कायँमे अपना सबकुछ दे दीया।
