Interesting piece but why a victim of partition who had done so much to articulate the legitimate Hindu/nationalist sentiment and build the BJP all these years should do this ? Advani has certainly damaged the Hindu/nationalist cause by showering praise on one of the biggest mass murderes in history. It is well known that Jinnah's nationalist phase was over by 1920-21. If Advani was trying to upstage Vajpayee it has failed miserably. So called peace-process is a hoax and gibberish.
I won't buy the argument that it was an ISI trap.There is something else in it ? Advani must think of exorcising this adulation of Jinnah.
