Lk Advani Quotes

L.K. Advani wrote a personal letter to Manmohan Singh, putting forth the demand. Stories doing the rounds suggest that Manmohan Singh, the then prime minister, was not averse to it, but UPA chairman Sonia Gandhi would not agree.

in the impeachment proceeding against Justice Bhalla, the BJP declined to sign because L.K. Advani had been acquitted by him in the Babri Masjid demolition case.

Indira Gandhi imposed her dictatorial national emergency in 1975. Tata was one of the few among his generation of literary intellectuals in Karnataka who boldly proclaimed his opposition. He publicly protested when many were muted by fear. Tata returned the Padma Bhushan he had received in 1968, stating that as a writer he could not tolerate a government depriving citizens of their hard-won liberties. That was the first step in Tata's risky public stance against the Emergency. Thereafter, he became a hero to many opposition leaders like George Fernandes, Atal Behari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani, who were all either on the run or in jail during those dark days. Tata attended anti-emergency conclaves organised by the RSS which led the fight in Karnataka, as well as similar events in Kerala organised by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM). Tata would simply say, loudly and publicly, that he would vote for 'anything else, even an electric pole' if it contested against Indira Gandhi.
