Advani quotes Benazir

Leader of opposition L.K.Advani,or let me say the PM in-waiting,has developed a habit of quoting pakistani leaders..!!
Earler he quoted Mohammed Ali Jinnah,when he visited pakistan,and the after effects of that controversial quote still troubles him,with no one in his party or his sangh accepting his muisings.

Now in his blog Advani says,and i quote him here "

The current controversy surrounding Election Commissioner Shri Navin Chawla reminds me of a conversation I had had with Benazir Bhutto when she visited Delhi during the NDA regime. She had lunch with me that day and she shared with me a delicious dish of Sindhi curry, which my wife Kamala prepares excellently.

In the post lunch chat we had that day, I posed a question to Benazir: “How is it” I asked her, “that though both India’s as well as Pakistan’s political leadership had imbibed a similar political culture under British rule, India had managed its democracy with remarkable success but in Pakistan democracy had been a total failure.” Benazir’s reply was succinct: “I attribute your country’s success to two factors: firstly, your Army is apolitical; and secondly, your Election Commission is constitutionally independent of the Executive.”

Benazir had rightly identified the two guarantees for Indian democracy. For the first of these ― the Indian Army never nurturing political ambitions of any kind ― the credit goes entirely to our armed forces and those who have led it since independence, while credit for the Election Commission’s independence must be given to the Constituent Assembly.

"
Sure Indian Army and Election Commission has functioned exceptionally well throughout.But then why is Advani quoting benazir??Is it a new information to him?
He doesn't know about these facts?
He is affectionately quoting a pakistani leader whose tenure as PM saw continued proxy-war through terrorism in India.Agreed all leaders of pakistan were and are hostile towards India.But then,for Advani to quote benazir as if her good-will certificate is needed for Indian Army and the EC,is absolutely not necessary.

Earlier he lavishily praised Jinnah,who was responbile for partitioning of India.Now this benazir quote..!!

India deserves better from it's Leader of Opposition..
