Dr. Abdul Kalam’s residence, where he spent his last years in New Delhi, is being evacuated. Within days, there will be no trace of Dr. Kalam’s life in that house. This house is now going to be given as residence for Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma.
Thousands of Dr. Kalam’s books and documents that he worked on through his life, the Veena that he often played, are being boxed up, so that Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma, who has been in the news recently for his sexist and discriminatory comments, can move in.
I’m shocked and appalled at this dishonour.
Sign my petition asking the Government of India establish an 'Dr. Abdul Kalam International Knowledge Centre’ to honour Dr. Kalam.
Moving Dr. Kalam’s work to the small town of Rameswaram is one of the biggest insults
to the legacy of one of our greatest Presidents, who spent his last
years inspiring the youth to contribute for the good of society.
We do not have much time. On Oct 31, 2015,
the house of Dr. Kalam will be vacated. Sign my petition and share this
with your networks. If we build enough public support, we can save Dr.
Kalam’s house from turning into another ordinary residence.
Setting up 'Dr. Abdul Kalam International Knowledge Centre' at 10, Rajaji Marg, and opening it to general public, will serve as a universal destination for scholars, scientists and students where Dr. Kalam’s work will give practical and inexpensive solutions for our most critical issues.
This
is the best way to honour a true patriot and the legend that was
President Abdul Kalam, who selflessly served the country till his very
last breath.
