          Patna, June 15 (IANS) Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam   Friday said he respected the views of political parties who supported him as a   presidential candidate but would take the "proper decision at the right   time".
 |  "Many political parties have been saying they prefer me and want me to become   the president of India. I respect their views and I appreciate their ideas. I   will take the proper decision at the right time," Kalam, 81, told reporters   here.
