"I do not think that raking up the foreign origin issue of Sonia Gandhi is a personal attack against her," he said while answering a question at a press conference at Thiruvananthapuram.

The foreign issue was a matter related to leadership of the country and development of the nation depends upon the leadership, he said.

Asked about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's remarks against Gandhi during the campaign, Advani said every one had his own style.
