New Delhi: Former President APJ Abdul Kalam's account on the microblogging site Twitter will continue to be active, but in a new form.

A team of his close associates has decided to run his official Twitter account which has now been renamed as 'In memory of Dr Kalam'.

Dr Kalam's close aide Srijan Pal Singh tweeted:

    - In memoryof Dr.Kalam (@APJAbdulKalam) July 27, 2015


Mr Singh would now act as the administrator of his Twitter account and will share inspirational quotes from an innumerable number of speeches made by Dr Kalam and his books like 'Wings of Fire', 'India 2020' and 'Ignited Minds'.

Another book 'Advantage India', co-authored by Dr Kalam and Mr Singh, is slated to release later this year.

Since February 2011, Dr Kalam had been regularly posting his views on contemporary issues facing the country besides sending out inspirational messages on Twitter.

He had more than 1.4 million followers on the microblogging site which is now flooded with his one-liners.

Hashtag 'KalamSir' has been trending on Twitter in India since last night.
