Advani's dig at photographers

New Delhi Nov. 10. The Deputy Prime Minister, L. K. Advani, today took a dig at still photographers from the media, saying ``they wait for moments when a politician on the dais puts his hand on his head or yawns'' to click, evoking peals of laughter among a gathering of medicos.

At a health assembly function organised by the National Medicos Organisation, at which the former Delhi Health Minister, Harshvardhan, was also present, Mr. Advani said: ``And then they display the photograph with the caption `Advani ji is speaking and Harshvardhan is taking a nap'.''

Mr. Advani said at a function a photographer clicked him when he was using his digital diary and the next day a newspaper carried this photograph with the caption `Advani ji, is this swadeshi?' ``They may have thought that for us swadeshi means only things that are made in India.'' He said all good things and developments from any part of the world should be adopted in the country.
