New Delhi: Seeking to revive Congress President Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin issue, Leader of Opposition L K Advani today (Jan 20, 2006) said the latest controversy involving Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi has made it clear that the issue had a direct link with country's national interest.

Addressing the party's National Council meeting here, Advani also heaped lavish praise on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi giving credit to his 'good governance and honest administration' for the party's success in civic and Panchayat elections in the state.
