*Country has to be saved from of caste-based parties: Advani*

London (PTI): Blaming 'caste-based' parties for creating social unrest in
India, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani has said that the
country has to be "saved" from such political outfits.

"The country has to be saved from the growing influence of caste-based
parties which would increase social tensions," Mr. Advani told The Sunday
Telegraph.

Terming India an "essential Hindu" nation, he praised people for their
ability to tolerate "diametrically opposite views," which has made the
country a successful democracy.
"India is essentially Hindu, and therefore secular and democratic," he
said."India has succeeded as a democracy because its people are able to
tolerate a diametrically opposite view," he added.
