While the entire nation was shocked to hear the death of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam who passed away in Meghalay, the largest dairy cooperative GCMMF has found a unique way of saluting the hero.
With the headline Kalaam, aaj aur kal this shows you how perfect the Bharat Ratna’s theories were, are and will be. Aptly called India’s missile man, Kalam has also been referred to as APJ Abdul Kamaal by this Amul Ad.
Talking to Indian Cooperative GCMMF Managing Director said that Kalam was indeed Kamaal for the country. A man who began his journey from a modest background fired the imagination of the entire nation by sheer force of his personality, Sodhi added. We pay our tributes to him, he said.
People’s President, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, will be laid to rest today at Rameswaram, the town in Tamil Nadu where he was born. The funeral, which will be held at 11 am, is expected to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dr Kalam, 83, had died on Monday in Shillong. He had suffered a massive cardiac arrest while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management.
His death witnessed a huge outpouring of grief across the nation. In Delhi, thousands waited in the sultry heat for hours to pay their last respects to him. Serpentine queues were witnessed in Rameswaram, where his body was brought on Wednesday.
