Advani surprised

NEW DELHI NOV. 9. The Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today took exception to Dhaka's reaction to his statement expressing concern over the growing activities of the Al-Qaeda and the ISI in Bangladesh.

``I don't know why they are reacting like this. I had just said there were reports about growing activities of the Al-Qaeda and the ISI in Bangladesh after the change of the Government,'' he told reporters at an informal get-together organised to felicitate the senior BJP leader, J.P. Mathur. — PTI
