		Advani signalled the need to change "the impression that has gained ground that no political or organisational decision can be taken [by the BJP] without the consent of the RSS functionaries".

		Advani's third "momentary respite" in the month and a half since he returned from Pakistan — a trip he will remember for more than the warmth of his reception in the land of his birth.
		Advani: "Swayamsevaks working in organisations inspired by the Sangh ideology should maintain [the] utmost commitment to ideology and also behave in a manner befitting Sangh traditions." If it was Hindutva rhetoric the RSS wanted, Mr.
		Advani had already satisfied it by visiting Ayodhya, in the aftermath of the terrorist strike, to lusty shouts of "Jai Shri Ram." Such emotional fervour evidently did not carry conviction with the Sangh, which probably saw his Ayodhya act as a survival tactic rather than as evidence of reform and repentance.
