U.S.A is repeatedly committing such practices and routinely expressing regret. what we need to do is to pay in the same coin. The U.S. dignitaries should be similarly frisked after which we may also say 'sorry'.
practicing eye for an eye has never been our stronghold. we are the followers of Gandhi who in this situation will allow himself to be frisked without any second thought.

This is a matter of national honor. There is reciprocity in international relations. We must never give any country nationals and diplomats/ dignitaries a treatment better than what they give to us. Moreover I feel that Americans are Christians and they believe in the principle- do to others as you would be done by. Thus by frisking Kalam, our ex president, they expect that we should frisk their ex presidents also. Why not oblige them by frisking their VVIPs as they do to their Indian counterparts. Like them, we shall also say 'sorry' later.

I totally agree with you on this Gulshan! Just because they are white-skinned (mostly) and speak English does not mean that we should be in awe of them and let them behave with our dignitaries as they would with common criminal suspects! They should have thought twice at least in dealing with a person such as Dr. Kalam. It is very abominable and we should return it with full favours on their dignitaries!

what America has done cannot be justified in any case.of course you have to understand their concern for the safety of their country.but dignitaries like kalam could have been exempted.
but we should never do the same to them..think of our father of nation ...think what he would say to this incident...follow it...
we say our father of nation is mahatma Gandhi....that is not enough ..try to follow his principles...only then he will be the true father of our nation.
this is the second time Kalam got insulted. I feel Indian also should insult when the american comes to our India
America has apologized for this act.it happened because of some employees who did not know about the stature of kalam.they thought he was just another Muslim.America sacked the employees who were responsible for this..
