Advani\'s statements prove amply well that politicians of any and all hues are all alike. They manipulate public sentiment and emotions for their own narrow and selfish ends. After inciting passions in the name of Hindutva for the last decade and a half, Advani found himself at the crossroads after losing power at the centre. This surely has disappointed him enough that he now probably thinks that there would be no comebacks. Taking a leaf out of his \"friend\'s\" (Vajpayee\'s) book he too decided to drop a verbal bombshell (he was very daring - he bombed Pakistan direct, in Pakistan, himself!)
His eagerness to please the Pakistani establishment is reflected also in his assertion that the Babri structure demolition was the saddest day of his life. His statement has certainly left all his co-rath yatris and the kar sevaks of Ayodhya vintage red in the face.
Seems to me that India\'s most famous \"refugee\" is now set to go home, capture hearts, votes and maybe a political seat in Sindh. Would we have an exchange program, with Pakistan\'s most famous \"mohajir\", Pervez Musharraf, plotting and executing a coup in India, , old Delhi to be specific?! Will we get closer to detente then?
