PUNE: The Pune Nagrik Manch (PNM) has started an on-line petition to demand that President APJ Abdul Kalam's term be extended.
Over 350 people have already signed the petition that was launched earlier this month. Kalam completes his tenure in July 2007.
Speaking to TOI here on Wednesday, Sujeet Shilamkar, president of the PNM said that he launched the on-line petition because he felt that Kalam was the single man who deserved to be President. "If India is to become a super power his vision will be greatly re-quired," he said adding that through the petition the PNM also aimed at uniting all fans of Kalam.
Shilamkar said that people have responded enthusiastically to the petition in such a short time. Besides signing the petition some of the APJ fans have also explained why they were supporting the demand. "It shows the popularity and charisma of Kalam," he added.
Says Tarakant Prakash, "He is the youth icon of India so let's take inspiration from him". Lokendra felt that Kalam was a real patri-otic soul and very much needed for the nation. "India will shine in his extended tenure," said another fan.
Madhukar Mazire has said that nobody else can make India a super power and we need a strong person like APJ. "Indians need Kalam for another term. He is simply a great motivator for building a solid India," remarked Raj Kumar Santoshi while signing the petition.
Many of those like Veeraraghavan who have signed the petition have pointed out that Kalam was the best ever president that India has had. "Let more souls be ignited", he said. Milind Patil has commented that Kalam was the most suitable person to maintain the dignity of the post while Pravin Prajapati has gone a step ahead and said, "This is the first time that India has got a powerful man who is suitable for the post".
Pratik Modi has certified that there is not a single person in India who can replace Kalam.
