India BJP expels Jaswant Singh for saying Quaid Azam Jinnah was A Great Leader
|
SHIMLA, India Indias opposition Hindu fundamentalists expelled senior figure Jaswant Singh Wednesday over his book praising Pakistans founding father Mohammed Ali Jinnah who is widely blamed in India for the 1947 partition. Singh is a founding member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which completely dissociated itself from the book Jinnah-India, Partition, Independence,and expelled him unceremoniously through a telephone call. The book portrays the Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader as Jinnah is remembered in Pakistan) as a great personality and holds Indias first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the Congress party responsible for the partition of India. In it Singh says Jinnah has been demonized in India. In a television interview aired over the weekend, the 71-year-old party veteran, a former foreign minister and member of parliament, said he had chosen the controversial leader as his subject because Jinnah had an intricate, complex personality of great character, determination. Singh, a former Indian Army major who had voluntarily retired without pension to work for the BJP over the past 30 years, also rejected the popularly-held view that Jinnah was a Hindu basher and solely responsible for the dismemberment of undivided India. I dont think it was dismemberment. He wanted space for the Muslims, he told the CNN-IBN channel. Nehru believed in a highly centralized polity, Singh has been quoted as saying. Thats what he wanted India to be. Jinnah wanted a federal polity. BJP <b>...</b> |

|
ensaaf.org on September 6, 1995, the Punjab police abducted, tortured, and murdered human rights defender Jaswant Singh Khalra because he exposed the disappearances and killings of thousands of Sikhs by the Punjab police. In his last speech made to a Canadian audience Jaswant Singh Khalra discusses his investigations into the disappearances and his readiness to die to expose the truth about these crimes. "A mother's heart is such that even if she sees her son's dead body, she does not accept that her son has left her," says Khalra.
