Consider this reading of the BJP’s friendly face by Islamic scholar Ausaf Vasfi: “Mr. L.K. Advani has gone to the extent of saying that the BJP is not anti-minority. … For the sake of power he has not hesitated to dilute his party’s very raison d’être… it would have been far more upright morally had Mr. Advani plainly admitted his party’s Hindu character and constituency. But he wants to have the best of both worlds. It is sheer hypocrisy.
