It is very surprising that not only media and politicians alike often continue to harp on the lines they pickup regardless of the facts as in this case. Read Advani's speech, the text of which has been published wherein he has supported his message for secular polity in India , Pakistan and Bangladesh with quotes from Jinnah's own speech. The message obviously is directed more at our two theocratic nations who have all but forgotten that speech of Jinnah. It is a matter of revisiting modern history of India. Hon'ble Minister for HRD may order a thorough research on the subject of partition and have cbse books rewritten accordingly. But politically that move puts Congress and Pt. Nehru in the dock. If Jinnah was secular in his victory then who had conceded the victory - partition of India to him. He could not get it unless the other two parties namely the British and the Congress would agree to give it to him. British being neutral, it was Congress which should have and had actually agreed to partition so that Nehrus could become PM of India in perpetuity. So why blame only Jinnah.
