Ashraf, President Abdul Kalam was nominated by BJP/NDA and when for the second term he was rejected by Congress as Kalam refused to be a Rubber STamp so the Congress/UPA brought in Pratibha Patil. Secondly, we did not have a Muslim President for the first time. We had before him "Zakir Hussain" and Fakruddin Ali Ahmed as President of India. This is not to deny the fact that both of them were Rubber STamps of Congress. Please educate and enlighten yourself before making comments on this message board.
