Even before the controversy over placing the Bible and Quran near late president APJ Abdul Kalam's statue could subside, a pro-Muslim group leader has come up with a shocking statement claiming that Abdul Kalam was not even a Muslim. Jainulabudeen, leader of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath alleged that Kalam was not a Muslim as he prayed to idols and respected naked sadhus. "Before he became a president, nobody knew him. He was just another scientist in the crowd. BJP and the Sangh noticed him and lack of his objection to praying to idols or getting blessings from Sankarachariyar. This is why they made him the president," he alleged. He went ahead and claimed that Abdul Kalam just had a Muslim name and that Thowheed Jamath will not protest for not placing a Quran in his memorial. Jaimulabudeen's comment is seen as a continuation to the controversy of the government placing a Bhagavad Gita next to his statue inside the memorial.
"We don't even mind if you adorn the statue with holy thread or apply holy ash to his face," he said. Tamil Nadu, on the whole, is not appreciating the acts of tarnishing the legacy of the people's president by factional groups for their own ideological gain.
