INDER Singh Namdhari has always acted on his conscience. In 1990, he snapped his nearly three-decade-did association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its political offshoot, the Bhatiya Janata Party (BJP). He walked away with one-third of the party legislators to come to the aid of Laloo Prasad Yadav then running a minority government, as he became a hero of sorts for secular forces. After Laloo arrested L.K. Advani, en route to Ayodhya on the original rath yatra, Namdhari gave the much-needed numerical elixir to the Laloo government.
