Kalam acceptable as scientist,
but not as President: Basu

Veteran CPI-M leader and People's Front president Jyoti Basu has opposed the candidature of scientist A P J Abdul Kalam for the presidential poll.

"Kalam is a world-famous scientist. It is better for him to be where he is," the octogenarian Marxist leader said in Kolkata on Tuesday night.

Stating that his party was talking to other opposition parties on this issue, Basu said that the CPI-M's view has been conveyed to the Congress.
