Sourav Ganguly recalls meetings with APJ Abdul Kalam

Condoling the death of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, ex-India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday recalled his meetings with the former President and said he was honoured to have received the Padma Shree from the great scientist.

The 11th President of India, Kalam served the nation in various capacities and was known as the ‘Missile Man’ after playing a pivotal organisational, technical and political role in the nation’s Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998. Ganguly remembered the legend for his down-to-earth demeanour.
