L.K. Advani's image as a polarising politician has stuck. Despite his strenuous attempt to recast himself as a moderate, he continues to provoke strong feelings among Muslims. He got a taste of this when Asaduddin Owaisi, the MP from Hyderabad and leader of the All India Majlis-e Ittihad al-Muslimin (MIM), just walked past the opposition benches after taking oath.

Advani tried to catch Owaisi's eye, who just looked away.
