We do not need a "Jinnah - Lover" as our PM. This is the height of insanity. I do not want WAR with Pakistan. I want normal relations BUT only after they show through their behaviour and policies that they are worth the trust and friendship. The BURDEN is on THEM to come out clean.
History is something I don't cry about, but it is something that I learn from and Jinnah was no leader worth following. Pakistanis may love him, but as an Indian I see him as a failed leader. I need to see the courage in our PM to say what the whole nation knows.
Mr. L.K. Advani became the first major Indian political leader to visit Jinnah's mausoleum, on June 4, 2005 and he wrote in the visitors' book:
"There are many people who leave an irreversible stamp on history. But there are few who actually create history. Qaed-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah was one such rare individual. In his early years, leading luminary of freedom struggle Sarojini Naidu described Jinnah as an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity. His address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947 is really a classic and a forceful espousal of a secular state in which every citizen would be free to follow his own religion. The State shall make no distinction between the citizens on the grounds of faith. My respectful homage to this great man."
Mr. Mukherjee, This is what Mr. Advani wrote. These are his OWN thoughts.
Stop defending him. Fight for the truth. Don't be blind sighted by hatered.

Sameer, If Hinduism is an INDIAN religion, then should every Hindu who becomes a US citizen, denounce his Hindu faith and become a Christian ?
You should follow your religion irrespective of the country you live in.
