There is nothing to it, says Advani

NEW DELHI JUNE 6. Breaking his silence on the BJP leadership issue, the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today dismissed the controversy as "absolutely nothing" and blamed the media for creating it.

"Sometimes I feel like laughing about how controversies are made (in the media) without any basis. I didn't comment and I don't want to comment, make any statement. There is absolutely nothing in it," he said before emplaning for Mumbai en route to his 12-day visit to the U.S. and the U.K. Asked about the controversy, Mr. Advani said he was a newspaperman and as a newspaperman he knew how controversies were made. "My respect for newspapers has gone down that much, (because of the reports over the BJP leadership).''
