Shourie attacks BJP, Advani again

New Delhi: Just when there was a lull in the stormy internal matters of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Arun Shourie has done it again.

Shourie has attacked LK Advani in a newspaper column on the Kandahar issue. And the BJP for doubting Brajesh Mishra's version of the events.

He says: "Four members of the cabinet committee on security, excluding Mr Vajpayee all four other than Mr Advani, had called Mr Advani's version in question. There must have been a way to set the doubts at rest. But what did the spokesman do? Mr Mishra's statements are unfounded, unfortunate and politically motivated," declared one of the current spokesmen of the BJP. "He is not a member of the BJP." What had the veracity or otherwise of Mishra's statements to do with his being or not being a member of the BJP? He was the national security advisor at the time as well as the principal secretary to the prime minister. He had participated in every single meeting and decision relating to Kandahar."

Shourie had earlier, in a 'Walk the Talk' interview, attacked the BJP leadership, calling them Humpty-Dumpty and Alice in blunderland.
