Advani Strong in Speech, Weak in Action - PM


Rediff

New Delhi, Apr 13: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday attacked Bharatiya Janata Party' prime ministerial candidate L K Advani, saying he has unique ability to combine strength in speech with weakness in action.

Addressing a meeting in Mumbai, the prime minister said, "Unlike Advani, I will not be found weeping in a corner while hoodlums tear down a centuries-old mosque" -- an obvious reference to the razing of Babri Masjid.

"I will not say things in Pakistan that offend every Indian and then abandon my stand when it becomes politically inconvenient within my party," Dr Singh said, in a reference to Advani's pro-Jinnah comments.

Tearing into the BJP's claims on UPA's handling of terrorism by recalling the developments following the hijacking of IC-814 during the NDA government, the prime minister said 'Advani had agreed to release the terrorists and subjected cabinet colleague Jaswant Singh to the humiliation of having personally escorted the terrorists to their safe haven.'

    Mr Advani is very strong in dividing India by regionalism and relegion.History shows India was full of many small kingdoms which was fully exploited by the marauding ,Mongols,Moghals,Portugeese,Dutch,French and British.When the need of the hour is strong united One India it is pathetic that we see leaders like Advani advocating division of states into smaller and smaller states leading to regional and relgious chauvinism. God save India.

    Mr Advani is strong in deviding the country.He is strong in opportunism. He is strong in praising our enemies in their countries. He is strong in spreading hate. He is strong in terrorising minorities. He is too strong in his age and now the time has come for him to take permanent rest and say bye bye to Indian politics. Good luck to u Mr PM Singh. Singh is King
