Between 1971  he should be in either in class 2 or class 3 . Why not tell us the truth about this man the truth will not rremove him as the vice president. But if you can continue with these lies, some one may ask for his real age and verification of certificates.

@Dr Collins and Sweetperf, read your English very well and please learn your arithmetic very well and stop typing rubbish on social media because you want your voice to be heard, read the profile again and follow all the necessary punctuations, thanks.
