Did someone say Lal Kishenchand Advani? (letter)

by MUKUL DUBE

The JD(U) has broken off with the BJP because Narendra Damodardas Modi apparently does not have “acceptable high secular credentials”. Will Messrs. Nitish Kumar and Sharad Yadav please tell us whom the RSS-BJP could have dredged up from their ranks who would have met the requirement? To any thinking person their choice makes clear their goal.

Did someone say Lal Kishenchand Advani? In “the 80s and 90s … Advani challenged the holy cow of secularism”, says Jyoti Punwani, and goes on with “Advani made Muslim-bashing popular.” Source: http://www.thehoot.org/web/Being-clear-eyed-about-Advani/6857-1-1-10-true.html

Let us not forget that Advani was the one who defended the Butcher of Gujarat 2002, also in Goa.
