A student of St. Lazarus Middle School in R A Puram, Kalam, questioned by an online media team on the topic of communal harmony made a stirring, extempore statement. And this segment seems to have gone viral.
The video caught the attention of the chief minister’s office and M K Stalin invited the school boy to his office at the Secretariat and presented him some gifts. Kalam was accompanied by his parents.
Kalam’s fame spread. At the 125 years celebration of St Anthonys Girls School held in San Thome on Friday morning, Kalam was invited too and asked by the state minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi who was the guest here to sit beside him in the VIP row.
