Guwahati/Shillong, Sep 29 (UNI)  Bharatiya Janata Party''s (BJP) Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani today strongly condemned the violence against minorities in Orissa and Karanataka.

'' No violence and vandalism against minorities will be tolerated. I have talked to both the state governments and they have assured me that law will be taking its own course and tough action wil be taken against the miscreants. '' Addressing a press conference here at the Guwahati airport after summing up his two-day visit to Assam and Meghalaya, he informed that he had met the religious leaders in Shillong earlier the day and informed about the assurances.

''Mr P A Sangma was kind enough to organise a meeting of the religious leaders of all faiths and I told the minorities leaders about our party's resolve. Vandalism against places of worship are not only condemnable but cannot be justified under any circumstance,'' Mr Advani stated.

Mr Advani had made sure that strict actions be taken against them in these two BJP-ruled states.
