Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a great politician: Maulana Badruddin Ajmal

New Delhi: Expressing grief over the demise of ex-Prime Minister of India Bharat Ratan Atal Bihari Vajpayee, All India United Democratic Front Maulana Badruddin Ajmal Qasmi said Atal Bihari Vajpayee was among the few leaders of India whose efficiency, manners and abilities were accepted by all including his own men and others. Though there were some untoward incidents occurred during his period which were unfortunate and hurting but despite our ideological differences with his party, we believe that he will be remembered for his achievements as a leader, politician, prime minister, foreign minister.

Maulana Badruddin Ajmal said Mr Vajpayee was a sensible politician and serious man. From his speeches inside and outside the parliament, it was clear that he respected the opposition.

Maulana Ajmal said differences apart, we can say that India has lost an able politician and intellectual.
