Dr. Abdul Kalam didn't belong to any Political party

Dr Abdul Kalam, was not participated or member of any political party, however in wikipedia it was wrongly mentioned under his personal details that he belongs to a particular political party. It is absolutely a wrong information, kindly correct it. 115.96.22.146 (talk) 17:56, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
