News Desk: After being snubbed by Congress over Presidential candidature, Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee has now taken her fight for APJ Abdul Kalam on social networking site Facebook.

Mamata joined Facebook on Friday night and posted for the first time on the site to explain why she is supporting Kalam to be the President of India.


Mamata wrote in her first post, "We in the Trinamool Congress support Dr Kalam as the Presidential candidate. I have already given a clarion call to other parties to support Dr Kalam as President."


"Along with my other fellow citizens I can only urge them to consider this call. Let our country be led forward by people such as him, people of free thought and honourable action who will not hesitate to do what is just and right," Mamata wrote. Refusing to budge from her stand, she said, "My party is a small party. We are not a big party with none of the resources others possess. We are led by truth and conviction. All through my life I have stood by my principles. I stand by the position I have taken".


The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata appealed all her supporters to stand up, support and vote for Kalam.


"Let your voice be heard. I will bow to the will of the people," she further posted.


Describing Kalam as the perfect candidature for President post, She said that the missile man is a distinguished son of India, who continues to inspire all Indians especially students. He always remains above narrow politics.
