Photo Gallery: PM Narendra Modi, LK Advani pay tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee at all-party prayer meet

A prayer meet for BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee was held in the national capital on Monday that saw leaders across the political divide hailing him as 'prime minister for everyone', with the Opposition stressing on a need to follow his legacy of taking all along and Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he withstood a "political untouchability" against his party to stick to his ideals. Leaders of all major parties and of organisations representing different religions came under one roof to pay tributes to the former prime minister, with some like Derek O'Brien of the Trinamool Congress praising him for his secular credential and Ghulam Nabi Azad of the Congress lauding him for taking everyone along.
