it is unislamic to be attached even to jinnah , not to speak of jinnah house or any property or symbol, even muslims cannot be shown attcahed to pakistan as it is against any symbolisium or idolising any image or theme, it is a hindu thought in a pakistani mind

ethnicity and religion are two different things, my friend. There are Gujarati muslims just as there are Keralaite muslims as there are Bengali muslims. They are not one big block like we would like to imagine

Dev - A few forward thinkers among Muslims is no doubt welcome, but these are isolated exceptions. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this is a trend, unless we have data to support it. So what Niranjan Shah is stating is relective of the usual trend.

I didnt understand the comment from the Foreign Office spokesman of Pakistan Mohammad Sadiq that the Jinnah House was an "emotional attachment for Pakistanis and Indian Muslims".
Let me state one thing clear. This Monument or what ever you wanna call it, Indian Muslims have nothing to do with it. Mohammed Ali Jinnah was the father of ur nation not ours. he find no place in the struggle for our freedom struggle . He fought for Pakistan. It make the statement by the spokesman feel that we Indian Muslims are emotionally attached to it. Sorry to disappoint you Mr Sadiq Its yours not ours.

Well said mohammed... indian muslims have nothing to do with it. i'd like to explain this sentence by you further "he find no place in the struggle for our freedom struggle": Jinnah was initially associated with INC before he joined Muslim League. Being in INC, he fought for the freedom of India and was nick named "Muslim Gokhale". Referance: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah

If Indian Muslims were emotionally attached to Jinnah house then we have a bigger fan club of Jinah House then Pakistan and it stays in India and Pakistan. Pakistan eat your heart out

Bleeding poor innocent people for six decades and forcing them out of their own country, the Pakistani rogues should stop violence and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and let unconverted people live in peace.

I totally agree with you Mr Lijjat. Pakistan must at any cost drop the claim to Pakistan at any cost. Kashmir is and always will be ours. Just because u terrorize the people of Jammu and Kashmir and we have militancy problems there does not mean that we will bow to your demands.. Inshallah Kashmir hamara hoga. Jai Hind.

I was going to make a derogatory remark being angered by Pakistani spokeman's statement.
But my dear brother mohammad, you have stopped me in my tracks. I am Proud of you !
I know many muslims in India share your point of you with all their heart, but for those who dont, Its your responsibility to bring them to the right track by educating the wisdom that you have

Not one day it is already happening, Scotland got its own parliament now (although answering to england) it will soon saparate from England. Ireland is a separate country (except a small part known as Northern Ireland). soon wales will be asking for its own parliament. Britain is not as great as it was once called. It is breaking up.soon there will be no United Kingdom.

The building, constructed at a cost of Rs 2 lakh, had been lying vacant since 1982 after the British Deputy High Commissioner moved out. It was then transferred to the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), before being entrusted to the ICCR some four years ago. Says Teesta Setalvad, Editor of %u201CCommunalism Combat%u201D who is striving for Indo-Pakistan friendship, %u201CWe have to live with the reality of Pakistan. If we want friendship, we need cultural exchanges. For this, a consulate in Mumbai is a must. And Jinnah House will serve that purpose%u201D. UNI
