Jaswant who was the Foreign Minister of India was expelled by the BJP for writing a book in which he mentioned that Pakistan was given to Jinnah on a platter by Nehru and Patel as these Hindu leaders wanted to come to power somehow and wanted Jinnah out of the way.
One may agree or not agree with what Jaswant has written , but BJP party's action defies logic and comprehension. A scholarly debate needs to be encouraged and there is no place in India for any party which is intolerent.Sadly the BJP is exactly that.It's a party that harks back to ancient times is not at all forward looking. Successive defeats at the hustings had not given it any lessons.It shot itself in the foot with the expulsion of Jaswant Singh and come to be associted as a party that lives in a cage .
I am afraid this thinking has not changed and despite a handsome majority in parliamenyt, the leadership is still looking at the world through a prism..The latest is the expulsion of the BJP , member of parliament Kirti Azad who has been served a show cause notice. What is Azad's fault? His fault is that he has pointed out the dubious role and perhaps complicity of Arun Jaitley the finance minister, in massive corruption scandals when this good finance minsiter headed affairs in the DDCA, the cricket body governong Delhi cricket. The man that should have been served a show cause notice is Arun Jaitely, but the BJP knows how to shoot itself in the foot.
