Advani should also apologize to nation for misguiding facts about Manmohan and should go back to Pakistan. He will find a suitable job of Chadar Chadho and Chadar Utaro on Kabbar of Jhinnah Mullah and company five times a day.

Dr.MMS should have thanked Mr.Advani as the campaign by BJP made MMS realise that he is holding the important position of the country and he has to make the final decisions. The people voted Congress for Dr.MMS and they expect him to do the command rather than somebody else pulling the strings. Finally, the Prime Minister position will look as Prime position due to the campaign of BJP. ANother main issue of the BJP to bring back the illegal funds stashed abroad need to be taken up by Dr.MMS by appointing a task force (Like the BJP) in the interest of the nation.

Let us pray that this maturity will continue to prevail in the utterings of our political leaders.This said, The news compilers may like to see if they commited a mistake in framing the title of the news which in its present form seems not to be wholly true to the contents of the story. "PM accepts LKA's Appology, Offers his own", may be a bit better better.

excellent and congratulaiton to both Mr.Advani and PM. This is the true spirit of living in the interest of our nation. If these two people join nothing can STOP OUR COUNTRY FOR ALL THE PROGRESS IN THE WORLD. I AM SURE WE WILL BE SUPER POWERS IN THE WORLD. SIR, PLEASE BOTH OF YOU FORGET AND START THINKING FOR A COMBINED GOVERNMENT- so that no one can join their ugly heads. Throw away all other insignificant parties . BJP AND CONGRESS SHOULD JOIN HANDS-MARRY TOGETHER-FORGET THE PAST. MADAMJI IT IS IN YOUR HANDS TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT !!! I AM SURE YOU CAN RISE TO THIS OCCASSION.

Mr. Rajesh Vyas, I think you went too fast reading the article. It mentioned very clearly Mr. Advani called Mr. Singh On MAY 16TH and congrulated and apologised same time for his election modus. On which Mr. SINGH is said to be compelled to apologize back to Mr. Advani. Yes Mr. Advani shouldn't have done that. And that is one of the mistakes BJP did not win as much. But unlike the versions of heavy loss no BJP has not lost number of votes comparitively. But thats a different matter. Its good to see maturity in Indian politicians at least the higher ranks. BJP n Cong should work together and in next election shun away these regional PAPPUS who have nothing to loose even if nation goes to dirt.

if all the parties unite for my india--it will be the richest and the strongest nation

This is the way, families and friends and foes to work with, forgiven and forgotten.(Forgiven and forgotten doesnot apply in the cases of rape!)

Despite the fact it was clear that personal abuse fest was done by Manmohan Singh.> Advani always talked about his lack of dicatets on his onw party .. he neve said anythign personal..but look at the media they are framign it as if Manmohan apologized which he shoudl have btw

This Chaddiwala(LKA) appears to be afraid of cases against him in Babri Masjid demolition, that's why he surrendered to MMS.tHIS WILD CHAMELEON WILL CHANGE COLOR THE MOMENT IT GOES TO RSS JUNGLE, AS HE DID ON JINNAH REMARKS.I DO NOT TRUST THIS LIAR. WHEREAS MMS IS A HIGH CALIBRE CIVILZED AND WELL BEHAVED LEADER.IF ADVANI IS HURT WITH A SMALL REMARK OF MMS THAT TO IN REPLY, THEN HOW MUCH HE HURT THE SENTIMENTS OF MUSLIMS OF INDIA?HIS PARTY AND HIS MENTORS IN RSS ARE NOT EXCUSABLE.LK ADVANI IS PART OF GREATEST CONSPIRACY OF DEMOLITIONS, AND ORGANISED ATTACKS ON MUSLIMS/CHRISTIANS, MALEGAON BLASTS ETC. HE SHALL NEVER BE LET-OFF JUST BECOZ HE IS OPPOSITION LEADER.NOW I ASK MMS TO BE LIKE A IRONMAN AND DON'T MELTDOWN TO THIS ACCUSED,AS SUCH ADVANI WAS INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL CASES IN PAKISTAN BEFORE HE MIGRATED."""LKA BELONGS TO A CULT WHO MILK THE SNAKES AND CUT THE THROATS OF HUMAN BEINGS""".

Even in IRAN, candidates debate....No harm if you think you have said some thing truth...why regret??behave like a leader in a democratic society...why regret??

It is the greatness, maturity and statesmanlyness of Mr. Manmohan Singh to express regret to Advaani ji which is unsolicited. With out even acknowledging the health of the person on whom the BJP and Advaani ji had attacked is unpardonable. They might have said that they did not mean it was not personally against him directly after having talked all nonsense. For that in his feeble health condition after the by pass surgery, Singh had to reply but replied with utmost dignity. As he has said he will give the due regard and position to the leader of opposition, here after it is the duty of the opposition leaders to reciprocate the same.

it is a good gesture from both of them . let the leaders from the states also follow this and bring healthy politics to be practiced in India .

This is for the kind attention of our state politician, especially TN state leader should learn generousity from our national leaders.This is called gentlemen politics.

BOTH PM AND ADVANI SHOULD APOLOGISE TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIA AS THEY WERE THE ONE FOOLED BY THEM DURING ELECTIONS AND CREATED HATRED AND IDVISION BETWEEN THEIR SUPPORTERS WHO ARE ANYWAY CITIZENS OF INDIA.

bjp supporters are blaming on media that media is always pro-congress.But they should accept the bitter fact that ppl always like to stay with good ppl. cong is good therefore, media is going with cong.Cong also realises that it is congress responsibility to run the country. Other parties are mischivious elements in politics.

The correct Heading of your news article should beMr Advani called and apologised and I reciprocated"You have given a totally different version as if MMS initiated the apology !!!

The criticism of Advani during poll was more from the perspective of political angle, where the PM post has been made as second position to 10 janpath. Thanks to the opposition for raising that so well... today we have hope that 10 janpath will not have so much say in governing affairs.. and summarily it had helped Dr. Singh to emerge stronger.Advaniji has expressed regret that he had to indulge in show bitter talk.. right on May 16... He is gem of the person to have shown that gesture to the same man.. who humilated him by not responding to his.. NAMASKAR gesture.. few days before elections... I think, PM owed real apology for hurting Advaniji and may be he owed to say THANKS for making him stronger.. too!!

BOTH SHRI L.K. ADVANI AND SHRI MANMOHAN SINGH DESERVE KUDOSFOR UPHOLDING THE TRADITION OF GIVE AND TAKE POLICY. THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN AS A ROLL MODEL FOR BEHAVING IN A DECENT MANNER IN PUBLIC LIFE BY LEADERS OF ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. ESPECIALLY POLITICIANS LIKE MS.JAYALALITHA, SHRI KARUNANIDHI, SHRI MULAYAM SINGH YADAV, MS. MAYAWATHI. IN A DEMOCRACTIC COUNTRY LIKE INDIA LEADERS SHOULD CONCENTRATE IN THE WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC AND NOT IN THEIR WELFARE BY TAKING INTO HEART WHAT HAS BEEN SAID AGAINST THEM BY OTHER PARTY LEADERS DURING THE TIME OF CAMPAIGN AND IN THE PROCESS OF DISCUSSION OR DEBATE IN THE ASSEMBLY AND IN PARLIAMENT. LET US HOPE WE WILL HAVE A STRONG RULING AND OPPOSITION PARTY FOR A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. JAI BHARAT AND JAI HIND

It is great news to hear from Prime Minister that both he and Advaniji have exchanged “regret” for the unpleasant words they had to use during the election time. It shows the maturity of the two great leaders. No wonder, only these kinds of good behaviors keep our country going from strength to strength. Unfortunately this kind of magnanimity is absent at the states level. It was totally absent in Tamil Nadu. The political leaders here in Tamil Nadu are of different class. They do not have the courtesy of addressing even the senior party leaders with words of love and respect. No wonder development in Tamil nadu is lacking behind other states. Unfortunatly, leaders do not even greet each others when they accidently meet in Public /legislative chambers. As a result the younger generations learn only “hate” language but not the language of love, affection and respect.God save Tamil nadu.

It doesnt matter who called first, but its definitely a welcome gesture from both Mr. Advani and Mr. Singh to forget the past and try to come to work together to solve the nation's problem. We shud stop being petty and try to have a healthy debatable condition without the hatredness. I definitely welcome the postive gesture from both the leaders. And wish them luck.

Well i have niether been a pro Congress nor Pro Manmohan Singh , but since i have read resume of our prime minister it really made me feel very proud to think that one of biggest democracies of the world is lead by such a learned man. This incident shows that he is humble person too.There is saying in hindi " when a tree is loaded with fruits it bends low".

It is very promising to see the way Dr. Singh and Mr. Advani bringing civility to our political process. It is a good example for the lower level political leadership to follow. Political difference should be ideological not personal. Our country's best interest should be the focus of politicians. I congratulate the prime minister and the opposition leader for taking high roads in politics.

"When he (Advani) rang up on May 16 to congratulate on the election results, he expressed regret. I also conveyed my apologies if I had hurt him," the Prime Minister told"The title is misleading. It was Advani who called up MMS to apologise. Where as pro congress media has projected it as though it was MMS who apologised first.

NAYAN M.DESAI | 17-Jun-2009Dear Nayan, India is too diverse. Diversity brings everyone to the lowest common denominator. It would be like a well full of crabs. If one crab wants to get out, all others will for sure pull that thing back in to the well. India as a nation is a myth. In spirit, it never existed as a nation. It is not existing as a single nation now. It will never exist as a nation with single soul in the future.

It's greatness of Dr. man Mohan Singh and Politics of India. When Atal ji became PM, he requested all leaders to forget the bitterness during the election. A Healthy Tradition......!!!! JAI HIND.
