| Senior BJP leader L K Advani expressed shock at the assassination of former Pakistan Premier Benazir Bhutto and said the ''talibanisation of Pakistan'' is a threat to India's security.
''The news from Rawalpindi has come as a shock to me. The former Prime Minister of Pakistan and a tall leader who for years had been struggling for restoration of democracy in Pakistan has fallen victim to a terrorist attack,'' he said.
''I have a feeling that the kind of talibanisation of Pakistan that is taking place is a threat to India's security also,'' Advani, who shared a warm relationship with Bhutto, said.
The BJP leader said he spoke to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who is in Goa. ''I shared my concern and he said we shall meet immediately after his return,'' Advani said.
He said the Prime Minister told him he would direct the National Security Adviser to brief him and his party about the development.
''I also expressed my concern about the goings-on in Nepal, where Maoists seem to have gained an upper hand. We will discuss both these issues,'' he said.
''We strongly condemn the dastardly attack. I condemn the Jehadis who are responsible for this,'' Advani said.
The former Deputy Prime Minister said he also spoke to the Pakistan High Commissioner here.
Asked about the implications of the attack, he said Pakistan's chaotic situation is a matter of concern not only for Pakistan but also for India's security.
