BJP expels Jaswant Singh over book on Jinnah

Jaswant Singh expelled from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for writing a book on Mohammed Ali Jinnah - “Jinnah, Partition and Independence”. BJP seems to be in no mood to tolerate ambiguous ideology being promoted by its leaders. But then the party president LK Advani was not expelled from the party for calling Jinnah secular.

"During Vajpayee's (Atal Bihari Vajpayee) time I was seen as the Hanuman, today I have become Ravana," said pained Jaswant - reports CNN-IBN.

For those who don't know, Jaswant Singh has been a member of BJP since the day the party was formed. Does taking such stringent actions on the former union minister and current member of parliament, for a book that he wrote in his personal capacity is warranted for?

Also was this the foremost agenda of the BJP which began its three-day introspection meeting or rather 'Chintan Baithak'. While the Congress is conducting meetings to discuss 'drought' situation in India.

Farmers are dying due to Drought.

Common man is fearing for life 'cause of Swine Flu.

And political parties are expelling their leaders for writing a Book.

Well it happens only in India...
