Advani flays Govt's vote-bank politics ----<b> "If Osama bin Laden had utilised the services of Justice UC Banerjee, the latter would have gone out of his way to prove that the 9/11 attack on Manhattan's World Trade Tower was caused by drunken pilots and not terrorists</b>!"  <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<b>The acrid remark from BJP veteran and Leader of Opposition LK Advani set off a ripple of sniggers at a national seminar on Minorities and Minority Rights:</b> The Supreme Court and the State here on Sunday.

Mr Advani cited the Banerjee Committee report on the Godhra train fire as proof of the ridiculous extremes to which the ruling UPA could go in pursuit of its vote-bank politics of minority appeasement.

In a jocular vein, the BJP leader pointed that <b>the way Justice Banerjee went about proving that the train fire, in which 59 kar sevaks were roasted alive by a violent mob near Godhra Railway station, was 'accidental' had impressed Osama bin Laden.</b>

<b>"The joke doing the rounds is that he wants to use Justice Banerjee's expertise to prove that 9/11 was not a case of terrorist strike but an accident caused by drunken pilots," he said, evoking guffaws from the audience</b>.
