Ex-RSS chief echoes Jaswant, praises Jinnah
Indore, Aug 25: Former RSS chief K S Sudarshan said on Monday, Aug 24 that Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah was committed to an undivided India.
Sudarshan said, "Jinnah had many facets. If you read history then you will come to know that Jinnah was with Lok Manya Tilak and was totally dedicated to the nation. And when Gandhi started the Khilafat movement, with the idea that currently we are opposing the British and if Muslims join in then their support will help gain independence."

"But
at
that
time
Jinnah
opposed
it
saying
that
if
the
Caliph
in
Turkey
has
been
dethroned
what
has
India
got
to
do
with
it.
That
time
nobody
listened
to
him,
which
saddened
him.
So
he
quit
the
Congress
and
left
for
England
and
only
returned
in
1927," said
Sudarshan.
When asked about Jaswant Singh's expulsion from BJP, he refused to comment saying only, "It is an internal matter of that party."
Earlier, Jaswant singh was thrown out of the BJP for his praise for Jinnah.
