A section of sadhus owing allegiance to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has demanded BJP president L.K. Advani's resignation from the Lok Sabha.
A meeting held on Saturday under Avichaldasji Maharaj also set up a "Forum of voters in Gandhinagar" to continue the fight for Mr. Advani's resignation for "betraying the people of his constituency." Mr. Advani was elected from the Gandhinagar parliamentary constituency in Gujarat. A resolution adopted at the meeting said that Mr. Advani had sought votes in the name of Ram temple but "betrayed'' the people by describing Mohammed Ali Jinnah, "architect" of Partition, as a "secular person."
