A life-size statue of former President Dr APJ
Abdul Kalam was unveiled at Peikarumbu here on Wednesday on the occasion
of his first death anniversary.
Inaugurating the bronze statue, Union
Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, “Dr. Kalam will live forever in our
minds and hearts. His thoughts continue to be with us all the time.
“It is difficult still to believe that
Dr. Kalam passed away and that this great man left all of us for his
heavenly abode,” he said.
Naidu and Defence Minister Manohar
Parrikar also laid the foundation stone for a national memorial for the
‘Missile man’ of India, here.
Kalam passed away on July 27 last year
after he suffered a massive cardiac arrest while delivering a lecture
at IIM- Shillong in Meghalaya. — PTI
