Leaders cutting across political parties paid rich tributes to Bal Thackeray this evening, with BJP veteran L K Advani describing the late Shiv Sena chief as "a rare, unique and original" leader.

"I have seen a lot of leaders. I am in politics since the first general elections in 1952. But I have not seen anyone like Balasaheb. He was a rare, unique and original leader," Advani said.

The former deputy prime minister was speaking at an all-party condolence meeting at the Shanmukhananda Hall in Mumbai. Prominent figures from politics, industry and some old associates of Thackeray spoke about the late leader.
