He later collected articles like slippers, pens, dresses, books from Kalam's house and took them in 23 parcels to Delhi," Salim said.

Earlier, Mishra told reporters that Kalam's family had already demanded that the central government place the articles used by the former President for public view.

"Since Centre did not do it, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal instructed that the things used by Kalam be exhibited in the cultural centre for public view from July 21," he said.
