PATNA: Railway Minister Lalu Prasad on Sunday welcomed BJP president L.K. Advani's statement at the mausoleum of Pakistan's founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah. "Advani's praise of Jinnah is his natural reaction towards Pakistan's founder. All his earlier utterances against Pakistan seem to be artificial," Mr. Prasad said at a Rashtriya Janata Dal function here. Taking potshots at organisations such as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for protesting Mr. Advani's statement, he said: "They [the VHP and RSS] seem to have forgotten that Advani is a Pakistani by birth. How can he speak lies at his birthplace?" He said that Mr. Advani, who was named an accused in the conspiracy to murder Jinnah, seemed to have realised his "mistakes" and was now speaking factually correct things. "I welcome Advani's statement on Jinnah though belated," he said. He advised Mr. Advani to stand firm on his statement despite protests from the saffron brigade. — PTI
