L.K. Advani quits as BJP chief
New Delhi, June 7: In a huge fallout following his controversial statements on Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Partition of India as well as the Babri Masjid demolition has led to BJP president L.K. Advani quitting his post.
It comes in the backdrop of the RSS virtually ordering him to recant on Monday. Advani had been indicating ever since his arrival from abroad that he would stand by his statements, no matter the consequences.
The RSS chief KS Sudarshan had also come to Delhi for a crisis meet, and Advani may well have unedrstood what the Sangh was thinking of doing.
He may have pre-empted the Sangh by taking this huge step, leaving the RSS in a quandarry.
