Ex President is trying to be innocent.He knew how to delay the matters.After all he had been working in a Govt Deptt. DRDO.By the way Kalam was not that simple .During his 5 years as president,he never played Holi with colours,even symbolic colours,say a teeka or tilak,though in every evening of Holi,children etc got together in President house to show cultural programme etc.Had he played this Hindu festival,Holi,as a token,it would have given a messege to the Muslims and Muslims would have been less fanatics.probably he did not want that to happen to them.But he enjoyed going to jama Masjid for Friday prayers as could be seen in photos published in newspapers.I may be right may be wrong,but he was muslim first than the president.
