As he bows out of electoral politics, BJP veteran L K Advani fired a parting shot at the party leadership, cautioning that the saffron outfit had never regarded those who disagreed with it politically as its “enemies” or as “anti-nationals”.
Stating that the essence of Indian democracy was respect for diversity and freedom of expression, Advani said, “BJP never regarded those who disagree with us politically as our enemies... in our conception of Indian nationalism, we have never regarded those who disagree with us politically as antinational.”
