Action against Jaswant Singh justified: Kalraj Mishra
Press Trust of India / Muzaffarnagar Aug 21, 2009, 14:08 IST
Senior BJP leader and party incharge of Uttar Pradesh Kalraj Mishra today said that the disciplinary action against Jaswant Singh was justified.
Talking to newspersons here, Mishra said Singh has eulogised Mohammad Ali Jinnah in his book "Jinnah-India, Partition, Independence" which is against the party's core ideology.
"Jaswant Singh's views on Mohammad Ali Jinnah is against the party's core ideology and amounts to grave indiscipline. The party's move to expel him is justified," he said.
In reply to a question, Mishra said senior BJP leader L K Advani's statements on Jinnah during a visit to Pakistan in 2005 were made in a different context and the two episodes should not be compared.
somewhere according to me expelling jaswant singh is not the correct move. we all have the right to speech and freedom of expression and moreover it is not affecting anyone personally.he may have given his life to a party but democracy prevails in our cuontry and fundamental rights should not be violated.
