Kalam meets Vajpayee
“One does not have to be a politician to be the president. Even as a scientist I do have the support of the main political parties,” a relaxed Kalam told reporters dressed in a blue shirt and khaki trousers.
“Tomorrow’s world will be dominated by technology and here I can share my management and technological skills with the parliament and the cabinet if I am elected.” Earlier in the day, Kalam, the architect of the country’s ballistic missile programme, was received at the airport by Defence Minister George Fernandes, as he arrived here from Chennai.—AFP
