Washington, June 11: A small group of people staged a demonstration outside the Indian Embassy here against Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani as he addressed a press conference inside the mission today. Carrying placards and shouting slogans, the group went to the extent of comparing him with ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussain. "Promoting people like Advani would amount to promoting the likes of Saddam Hussain," a protester said shouting, "He is Hitler of India. He should go away from here." 'Stop violence against Christians and Muslims', 'Advani is enemy of dalits and minorities' were some of the messages of the placards.
The demonstration was organised by an organisation of Indian-Americans called 'Coalition to Support Democracy and Pluralism in India'. Bureau Report
