Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday paid a heartfelt tribute to former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, calling his life an enduring source of inspiration for all Indians.
“Respectful tributes to the renowned scientist and former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ji on his birth anniversary. His vision and thoughts will greatly contribute to achieving the goal of a Viksit Bharat,” PM Modi wrote in a post on X.
In the post, PM Modi shared a video showcasing various photos of both leaders together, in which he praised Dr. Kalam for embracing challenges.
“Two things came naturally to Abdul Kalam — ease and simplicity. There are two types of people in this world: those who look for opportunities and those who look for challenges. Abdul Kalam always sought challenges,” the Prime Minister said, emphasising how this characteristic defined Kalam’s life.
