Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, Jaswant said that party president Rajnath Singh informed him this morning that he should absent himself from the introspection meet at Shmila.
I was called Hanuman of BJP, now I am being treated as Ravan, Jaswant said.
His recent book praised Jinnah and in contrast with Indian views, declared Jinnah a great leader, a view diagrammatically opposite to his party BJP’s position. Jaswant was a senior leader. He faulted Nehru and Patel for India’s partition.
He was sacked by the BJP in the opening session of the three-day introspection meet in Shimla.
BJP had dissociated itself from his book, saying the “painful” part of history cannot be wished away for which the Pakistan founder was responsible.
“Views expressed by Jaswant Singh does not represent views of the party. In fact, the party completely dissociates itself from the contents of the book,” party chief Rajnath Singh had told reporters in New Delhi.
