What ADvani said in Pakistan Parliament was that Jinnah wanted Pakistan to be a secular state, and he himslef personally believed in it. By saying this, Advani had actually pointed out to the parliamentarians of Pak, that their present condition was nowhere near what their founder had envisaged. There is nothing wrong in praising a dead enemy if it can score some brownie points over the present enemy. But unfortunately, the present leaders of Sangh parivar are a useless, conceited lot. They are all younger than Advani, and junior to him in stature. They were waiting for an opportunity to show their power over him, and jumped at this opportunity, and thereby completely turned the meaning of the statements. From all his interviews, statements, and public speeches, Advani comes across as a honest, intellegent, and patriotic man. I pray to God that he becoms the next PM.
