New Delhi (PTI): BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate L.K. Advani has promised to set up a "consultative mechanism" involving religious leaders if voted to power to discuss "issues facing the nation."
"It will be our endeavour to seek on a regular basis the guidance of spiritual leaders of all denominations on major challenges and issues facing the nation. For this, we shall evolve a suitable consultative mechanism," Mr. Advani said in a letter to religious leaders today.
The letter said to be send to more than 1,000 religiousleaders across the country, says it had been the lifelong ambition of Mr. Advani that "politics, governance and other national affairs should be guided by lofty ideals as enshrined in the concept of Ram Rajya (ideal state), popularised by Mahatma Gandhi."
"At the present crucial juncture in our nation's life, when people are looking for a decisive change, I seek your blessings, guidance and support with 'Sashtang Namaskar' (utmost reverance)," says the letter.
When contacted Mr. Advani's office said the copies of the letter have been send to Baba Ramdev, Shri Shri Ravi Shanker, Maulana Waihuddin and several archbishops of different churches.
