Amar Singh invites Jaswant Singh to join Samajwadi Party

New Delhi, Aug 25 (ANI): Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh on Tuesday invited Former External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh, who was expelled from the BJP for his remarks on Mohammad Ali Jinnah, to join his party.

Talking to a private news channel, Amar Singh said that Jaswant Singh was welcome in his party.

Amar Singh said his party was closer to Jaswant's views on Jinnah. He also charged the BJP of victimising Jaswant Singh.

Asked to comment on the Samajwadi Party's continued outburst against Jaswant Singh in the past over the Kandahar episode, he said the new revelations made by Jaswant Singh have changed his party's views towards him.

Singh was expelled from the BJP for calling Jinnah "a great man" in his new book, "Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence". (ANI)
