Is it sooooooooooooo? Advani

Lal Krishna Advani, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and president of the BJP (Bharatya Janata Party), has resigned from his latter position within a day of returning to India from Pakistan. His resignation comes in the wake of bitter attacks on him by extreme rightwing Hindu groups, especially the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, which have accused him of shaming Hindutva by being soft on Pakistan during his visit here. Mr Advani has also, remarkably, been attacked by the Congress for calling the Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, a secular leader.
