Violence against any religion is unacceptable: Advani

Statement of the day comes for Senior BJP leader LK Advani. He has denounced violence against any religion or place of worship, saying it is ‘unacceptable’. This coming from a man who in 1992 embarked on a "rath yatra" to mobilize "karsevaks" which ultimately led to the demolition of the Babri mosque.

Here is my take on Advani turning pseudo secular: Since he the BJP's prime ministerial candidate in the upcoming Lok Sabha election, may be he just displaying a pseudo secular image just to gain some political mileage and hope that his party will be elected as the majority party. As he is already 81 years old, he has probably realized that this election is probably his last opportunity to be the Prime Minister of India.
