		Atal Behari Vajpayee's critics call him "the mask" - saying his benign smile of moderation hides his party's links with Hindu extremists.
		Perhaps alone in the BJP leadership, Mr Vajpayee is seen as a statesman and a pragmatist, capable of initiatives reaching far beyond the Hindu nationalist political agenda.

While Mahuan alias Shiv Kumar was given the benefit of doubt and acquitted, Kakua alias Liladhar was convicted and sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment.
		Given that Vajpayee has confirmed that that he did sign the confessional statement and that he was only a "part of the crowd" and a bystander against whom there was and could be "no evidence", these statements now face a serious credibility problem.
		Vajpayee's stirring account of the 1942 events in Bateshwar, written for Dainik Jagaran, for instance, conveys the impression that he was involved in a heroic revolt, challenging British rule and facing state repression.
