Soliciting personal business in the position son of President of India is condemnable.

Abdul Kalam toook the Rasdhtrapathi Bhavan New Delhi to the highest peak of Glory during his tenure.Even KR Narayanan maintained the dignity of the office of President inspite of dome controversies of political nature and his partiality towards Congress. When the name of MRS Pratibha Patil was sponserd for the Presidentship there was a furore in Maharasthara and the rest of india about the financial irregularties including closures of Farmers Coopeartive Banks on the family members of MRS Patil.BJP Leader Arun Shourie has brought out the facts with clear Proofs. Any how she became the President Of India.Her Son should have gone separtely. I can not understand as to why people who own crores and crores of money and properties grudge to spend two or three lakhs and expose their inherent natures. The son of the president thought that no one can detect him or no one can dare to expose any irregualrity pertaining to the Rastrapathi Bhavan.The glory that Kalam briought to Rastrapathi Bhavan vanished so early.

What a pity!. PresidentPrathiba Patil has not disciplined her son. It is a pity politicians have no time to discipline their children, but try to discipline people. In Karnataka we have read son of one chief minister a school drop out was along with his friiends entered a hotel in the wee hours and demanded food, and since food was not available ransacked tge hotel and destroyed tables chairs etc. Proprietor could not complain as the son was chief minister's son. I wish politicians discipline themselves first and their children before entering poloitics.

Every one of us has to respect the office of the President of India. But unfortunately, a wrong precedence had been created by the visit of President Son for personal business visit to university in USA.

All section of the people will fondly recall how our most respected Dr.Abdul Kalam during Presidency, has ensured that none of his relatives whenever they visit Rashtera pathi bhavan enjoys the courtesy of Rashetra pathi Bhavan and he had paid upto the last pie for all expenditure.

The high standard set by him should be strictly followed by all in government.

As the saying goes, son follows the mother. In this case for all the bad reasons. It would be interesting to investigate his claim that the University had 'invited' him (twisting the possible fact that he made a request and the Univ might have conveyed no objection) and he had gone there to study the "Curriculam". All these sound so absurd. If you do a re-run on news stories about the mis-deeds of his mom before she became President, nothing should surorise.

Well this is just the beginning before the President's extended family of brothers and in laws swarm all over the Presidential palace and blow up all the tax payers money. What a fall from the lofty standards set by APJ Abdul Kalam who would pay from his pocket all personal expenses and the present President who would spend the tax payers money for all her personal expenses.

There is nothing surprising here. This is a reflection of Congress(I) culture and it was well known even before the presidential election. Also thi is nothing compared to what Sonia has done for her family and friends :

1. Italian Friend got his 17 Cr back thanks to Sonia's influence and law ministry using tax payers' money sending folks to London to ensure this happens
2. Son-in-law - Robert Vadera got an exception for no qualification to bypass security checks at the airport
3. Hundreds and Thousands of stations, roads, parks, streets, chowks, airports, IT parks and what not got named after Rajiv Gandhi as if there is no one else in this country worth considering

This is a shame to Honarable President. She should inspire from her predisisor Dr.Kalam and start participating to inspire the young blood of Republic of India. Moreever she has set one more example of politicians with congress back ground do these kind of things. Congress politicians do not even think of nations interstes, they always give more importance to personal interests and family politics.

I hope she won't repeat these kind of mistakes in future.

Everytime this third grade (3 being worst on scale of one to three) politicians annoys civilians like you and me with their sheer disrespect for the code-book....This being the worst example....President is a puppet in our country anyway....I DONT HOLD SON ACCOUNTABLE...SHAME ON SUCH A WEAK LADY/MOTHER...TOO BAD SHE HOLDS HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOUR...CAN SOME LAWYER HELP ME TO SUE THIS PRESIDENT...pls contact me parikhjigish@gmail.com

Her son should return the tax payers money.
