In A Spot - 110605

I've posted so many times on Tavleen Singh's On The Spot column that appears in Deccan Herald that I've decided to dedicate a series to her. I'm calling it "In A Spot" and will follow that with the date. Spot here meaning "A situation, usually a troublesome one".

Take the latest one. Writing about the L K Advani episode, she says this:
...why did he choose instead to speak?

Perhaps, because he knows that the time has come for the BJP to move towards being a political party that is not associated with Hindu fanatics. It is good that when the attack came from the fanatics he stood his ground and it is now time for his colleagues and fellow travellers to pronounce the end of the BJP’s relationship with the RSS.
This is one lady who is in for a big disappointment. "The end of the BJP's relationship with the RSS" - indeed. It may and should happen - but it did not happen yesterday.
