I would have take this article and Kalaam more seriously, if Kalaam did not have the chance to be the president of India. He had the chance to change few things if not many during his 5 years of his presidency. If anyone had to list down 3 big achievements of Kalaam what would it be ? Kalaam did not have the time to take a decision on Mercy petition of 50 odd people. Majority of them he inherited from the earlier president. If he was really against Capital punishment, why did he reject the plea by Dhananjay from West Bengal ? What did he do cancel Capital punishment, if he was seriously against it ? If the president of India, can not bring about change, who can do it. He had the time to meet wife and son of Afzal (Should he be allowed to use the GURU in his name) Did he meet the family members of security guards who were killed by the terrorists in the Parliament act ? A lot of people like Kalaam becuase he was not a politician, but instead of improving Politicians, this man started behaving like a politician.
