Islam was against “Idol” worship and individual eulogy,” A.Valiyulla Noori, President of the Council told newsmen after chairing the high-level committee meeting held here last evening. Dr.Kalam could be honoured by following his ideals and realising his vision for a stronger and developed India. He always wanted the youth to dream to achieve high.
