LK Advani backs PM Modi's visit to Lahore
New Delhi, Dec 26 (IBNS): Veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani on Saturday supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lahore on Friday saying the process of improving relations between Indian and Pakistan should be taken forward.
"The initiative that Vajpayee ji had begun, taking that process forward the leaders of our regime today including Modi ji and others, they too should contribute firmly in making relations between India and Pakistan better," Advani told mediapersons in Kutch in Gujarat.
Modi on Friday visited Pakistan for a short and sudden trip to the neighbouring nation where he met his counterpart Nawaz Sharif and appreciated his gesture of receiving him at the airport in Lahore.
"Spent a warm evening with Sharif family at their family home. Nawaz Sahab's birthday & granddaughter's marriage made it a double celebration," Modi tweeted after returning.
"Am personally touched by Nawaz Sharif Sahab's gesture of welcoming me at Lahore airport and coming to the airport when I left," he had said.
