Putting aside all political differences, BJP leader L K Advani on Monday said his party has attempted to stand along with the UPA government in the country's fight against terror.
Hoisting the tricolour at his residence to mark Republic Day, he said "I urge the people of India to extend complete support to security forces who are engaged in a grim battle against terror".
He said the BJP has attempted to stand along with the UPA government in the country's fight against terror, putting aside all political differences.
The saffron party supported the Bills on formation of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and amendment to the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the last Parliament session, he noted.
The flag-hoisting ceremony at Advani's residence was attended by BJP spokespersons Ravi Shankar Prasad and Prakash Javadekar. The senior leader's security team, including NSG commandos and para-military personnel, were also present on the occasion.
BJP President Rajnath Singh arrived soon after the flag hoisting.
Earlier, Advani attended the Republic Day parade at Rajpath along with his daughter Pratibha.
