New Delhi, 6th April: The celebration of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s 33rd Foundation Day senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani on Saturday said the audience that keeping in mind what is going on within the party, “today’s BJP is different from my idea of the party”.
Addressing at the function, Advani said that the party should not feel apologetic about its role in the Ayodhya movement. The BJP should, however, take pride in its stand on the issue, said the veteran leader.
Commenting on the Samajwadi Party’s chief remark when he had hailed the BJP patriarch a few days ago, Advani said: “When people heard Mulayam Singh praising me, they raised concern.
I believe if you say the right thing, the world will accept it. Don’t hesitate… don’t develop an inferiority complex. If we believe in Ayodhya (temple issue) and carried out an ‘andolan‘ for it, don’t be apologetic about it… never… we should take pride in it.”
Notably, Advani is the man behind the Ram Janmabhoomi movement which led to the demolition of the Babri mosque at Ayodhya in December 1992.
The senior leader further insisted there should be no compromise with indiscipline and corruption.
He also said “Things that I get to hear these days do not match with my idea of the BJP. I am deliberately raking this issue up today because I believe that this party can benefit the country a lot. But the country cannot be benefitted just by winning state elections, we have to have the policy of complete intolerance towards indiscipline and corruption,” he added.
