After more than 140 years, President A.P. J. Abdul Kalam addressed the dying lament of India’s last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar by offering floral tributes and reciting the fatiha at his grave. Mr. Kalam visited the mausoleum to offer floral tributes, light candles and donate a chador brought from the dargah of Sufi Saint Nizamuddin Auliya.

Or bring me a bunch of flowers? Who would light a candle for me? I am nothing but a gloomy tomb.”so on behalf of the nation apj kalam paid respect to him.
