Ex-PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's media advisor Ashok Tandon recalled on his 101st birth anniversary that when Vajpayee visited Pakistan in 1999, then-Pak PM Nawaz Sharif told him, "Vajpayee ji...now you can win elections in Pakistan too." Sharif said this after Vajpayee addressed a gathering at Governor's House. Vajpayee didn't address politicians or officials but Pakistanis directly, Tandon added.
