Rajnath a committed Swayamsevak: Khurana

NEW DELHI: Disgruntled BJP leader Madan Lal Khurana, who was briefly suspended from the organisation for his outbursts against L K Advani in July, on Saturday described new party chief Rajnath Singh as a ``committed Swayamsevak.''

``I strongly believe that the party will gain immensely from his leadership. He is a competent man, a committed Swayamsevak capable of setting things in order,'' Khurana said. In July, Mr. Khurana triggered a row with Mr. Advani, after he wrote him a letter, asking him to apologise for the Gujarat riots the same way Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did for the 1984 riots. .- PTI
