Surat, Apr 8 (UNI) Senior BJP leader L K Advani today said that the UPA will not be able to ''fool the people all the time'' and lamented that the soft attitude towards terrorism will send signals that the government was not serious about curbing the menace.

Addressing a rally of Bharat Raksha Yatra in this textile city of Gujarat, Mr Advani said the Congress and the communists were passing unanimous resolution in Kerala assembly seeking a parole for the kingpin of Coimbatore bomb blasts while at the same time the killers of Jessica Lall were all walking out of the court free, he said regretting that such tendency will not help in telling the people that the goverment was serious about checking terrorist activities.

The leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the NDA had come out with a terrorist deterrent law like POTA but it was unfortunate that this present government had repealed the act with an eye on votebank politics.

He said it was cultural nationalism propounded by sages like the Aadi Shankaracharya which has kept the country united, despite different traditions, languages and regional differences. ''He was able to bring emotional integration among various ethnic groups right from Kerala to Kashmir,'' Mr Advani said.

Referring to the U C Banerjee Committee report on Godhra train carnage, the BJP leader claimed that the purpose was to let off the culprits responsible for the ghastly killings even though they (culprits) had questioned their detention under POTA in Gujarat High Court and Supreme Court.

Tomorrow, Mr Advani will be proceeding towards Maharashtra after three days of the yatra starting from Rajkot, Ahmedabad and Baroda and Surat today. He has addressed various several meeting along with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders of the party.
