As curtains begin to draw on the long political innings of veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader L K Advani, the senior leader who skipped the National Executive in Goa on Sunday used his blog to talk about Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Bhisma Pitamaha. In a mix of historical and mythological anecdotes, the BJP leader described pitiable of Bhishma Pitamaha on the bed of arrows and Hitler going to hell for the sins he committed.
Sunday in fact marked the beginning of a new era in BJP, as Modi was anointed the chairman of election campaign committee, despite strong reservations expressed by Advani. His role in the party by many is described as the Bhishma Pitamaha and this comparison could not have come at a better time, as there are evident signs that Advani has been side-lined within the party. In his blog, Advani praises a sandalwood carving of Lord Krishna's Vishwaroop avatar, which he says also has a carving of Bhishma Pitamah on his bed of arrows, sermonising to the Pandava.
Advani in his blog appreciates Kamal Haasan's movie Vishwaroopam (2013), adding he wanted to see the movie ever since it became controversial. The BJP leader then further recites an anecdote about the former dictators of Germany and Italy, which he says, he had told Kamal Haasan.
‘The story is about a meeting Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini had during the Second World War in which Hitler tells the Italian supremo that the sins committed by the two of them would prove very costly for them after death,’ said Advani in his blog.
While Mussolini, according to Advani tells Hitler that he would seek the Pope's help to obtain a pass to heaven, Hitler suggests that he commend his name to the Pope too. Advani's narration ends with both the fascist leaders landing in hell and only the Pope reaching heaven.
Recently Congress MP from Goa Shantaram Naik had equated Modi to dictators such as Hitler and Pol Pot a couple of days back.
