  Is it right for the BJP to punish Jaswant Singh so harshly despite his long association with the party?
Share this debate
 
BJP has expelled senior leader Jaswant Singh from the party on charges that he went against the party line and praised the founder of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah in his just released book. His ouster from the party was decided by none other than L K Advani, who himself had to resign from the party president's post for praising the same man.

Jaswant Singh has been made a scape goat that to for the no faults . It is DR PATEL who concealed the medical history of Jinna that he shall live no longer beyond two and half years else even Nehru would had agreed for making him first PM of undivided INDIA and the problem of partition we the both countries facing today would had not even taken birth.

In a democratic country like, that one making use of its fundamental rights aint a crime, Freedom of thought and speech has to be respected, be it Mr. Jaswant Singh or any common man of this nation.

If we go with the human physology, it is proven fact that Jinnah was carrying the feeling of Muslims who are today's Pakistanis --- they were interested in a separate state and even today are fighting unnecessary for that name sake. Whereas Nehru was with nation which wanted united India, yet he decided to partition --- in effect it is Nehru who is responsible as LEADER to fail rather than JINNAH

Mukesh Patel : Aug 22, 2009
it was really showing i.e., as per my point of view he was sacrified his whole life for BJP & in the past time he waas work as a external affair minister representing india on top so it's so embarising ,disgusting had a word for Mr. jasawant shing

I guess, the `Freedom of Speech' and in that the freedom of writing should be given the individual freedom too. Jaswantji has been in the Indian army too, in fact he was in the army in two of the wars of 60's. He has written what he could dechipher. Debate can be held over it, but I don't think that calls for forced resignation.
Prasenjit Dasgupta : Aug 20, 2009
Jaswant Singh is old party leader so what ever BJP has done with him not right.The book which has written by him it is his personal opinions. THis was also past events . He neither support or against to any COM. This is also not linked with BJP thoughts and manifesto. So Plz we should forgive him.
