The Editorial Team
The ghost of Jinnah has returned to haunt Indian politics. Jaswant Singh who penned the book, "Jinnah: India - Partition, Independence" finds himself expelled from BJP for his controversial opinions in the book. The book is seen as an attempt to praise Jinnah highlighting his ‘secular' character while holding Congress leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel equally responsible for partition.
