This is not the first time when the BJP patriarch has spoke about Sindh and Lahore. Speaking at the 48th ascension anniversary of spiritual leader Pita Shri Brahma, the founder of Prajapita Brahma Kumaris Ishwarya Vishwa Vidyalaya in January, Advani had said that, “At times I feel sad that Karachi and Sindh are not parts of India anymore. I was very active in RSS during my childhood days in Sindh. It is a matter of dismay. I believe that India appears incomplete without Sindh.”

The senior BJP leader has previously also praised about Karachi, the capital of Pakistani province. Lal Krishna Advani was born in a Sindhi family in Sindh and the family moved to India after partition.

Lal Krishna Advani was recently into headlines after he along wth Murli Manohar Joshi agreed to face charges in the Babri Demolition case. It is been reported that the Supreme Court has reserved judgement against both the senior leaders.
