I think Kalam should gracefully retire to oblivion. He has proven himself unfit for the post of President a second time as he had taken no action on the clemency petition of Afzal Guru who is one of the terrorists who had attacked the Parliament. A President's primary responsibility is to uphold the constitution and when a terrorist attacks the Parliament which is one of the major organs of our democracy it is a serious crime which should be punished severely . The President should have decisively and swifly rejected the clemency petition. By vacillating and not taking any decision, he has shown his communal true colours. In this process, he had also betrayed the trust placed in him by the people of this country that he would be a worthy guardian of the constitution. In no way does he deserve to be reelected for a second time.
This year's campaign for President's election has been the dirtiest. Kalam Sahib has rightly withdrawn from the race.
In fact, wherever political interests clash and politicians are involved, there would be mud smearing. But the President's election had so far been clean and beyond any major controversy. This year's campaign has been exceptionally bad. No effort was made to arrive at a consensus for the country's highest post.
It is sad that all efforts by media to extract public opinion in this behalf has gone in vain. The first choice of people, President Kalam had to leave the race. The second choice, Mr.Narayan Murthy had no political links and did not seem interested. Also, his name did not elicit any response from political parties.
Can't we have a direct election for President so that choice of majority of the 100 crore people becomes our country's first citizen.

Though Kalam is one of the best presidents we have, I think he spoiled his reputation by expressing his desire to contest again. This stand of him is in total conflict with the visionary kalam we knew in 2002- 2006.What made him to change his stand? Is the yearning to stay on in Rashtrapathy bhavan has consumed the ideals of even person like Kalam? He described Patil as fantastic for presidentship and within two days wanted to be stay put in Rastrapathibhavan.Reminds me of the old saying-Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.There is no exception to this ,including Kalam. What pains me is the advise given by politicians like Pawar and Lallu, of all people, to Kalam to step down gracefully. Kalam is responsible for this. Why president you seem to have lost prudent thinking in those two days. We expected a grand farewell to you but alas by your actions in the last few days you have lost that chance. You will be remebered as one who did everything for nearly 5 years but faltered at the end due to temptation

thangaraj, If i ask whts yr aim, u may answer - To build a good house, to buy a car or to marry a pretty girl. Wht else can be yr aim. Go and ask kalam, his only aim is to develop and see india as a great nation. President post is not for his enjoyment, he wants that post just for the improvement of the country

Do the people who vote online and give opinions on everything actually go out and vote in the elections at all...alas this is the tragedy of the Indian democracy, when people who debate things properly dont bother to vote and hence dont participate in the democratic procedure.
My fellow citizens, if Kalam is not to back to President of India second time, it is not shame for Kalam; it is shame for India and Indians..national shame. Our politicians do not mind this shame; But we Indians we should mind.
So please do some thing to keep Kalam back to his seat.
The [CONGRE]gation of [S]pineless [S]ycophants, aka the Congress party, was instrumental in putting India in a situation where we, a antion 1.2 billion very smart - though disunited and therfore poor - people are ruled by a completely undistinguished Italian woman who, after imposing a wishy wahsy personality like Manmohan Singh as PM, is now going to play one more cruel joke called Pratibha Patil on us ! We must all introspect to figure out how did we end up voting this bunch of boot-lickers into office.
