I feel - a book is a book - we may agree with the authors point of view or disagree. If we disagree we should share reason of disagreement. I have not see any facts coming out of BJP in this case against the point of view of Jaswant Singh - that shows the lack of intellect in BJP.
I am a great fan of Ghandhi - that does not mean that he has never done/said anything wrong. I may also disagree with some of his views / actions. After-all, he was also an human being and can make mistakes.
Saying Jinnah has never done anything good or all his view were wrong is totally wrong. If somebody praises something good about him, we should welcome that in that context. Same is true about Sardar Patel or any other leader / person.

If an organization take away the power of speech from its people - nobody can save them. I wish BJP takes corrective action immediately and allow its member to maintain and individuality also. They may claim in the media that these are not party views - and that it.
I think Jaswant Singh did wrong to Party-BJP by writing pro Jinnah comments.
ReplyDeleteHad he not been senior leader in BJP, he had full liberty to express his views. When you are part of larger organisation, you can not give your views in open which can go against your party/country interest.
Politics is also like any other business, where you have business agenda/secrets. And all secrets are supposed to remain secret. Freedom of expression should be for internal consumption.
Jaswant Singh has a right to express in views on anything once he is retired from active political life.
