New Delhi: The Congress has labelled the ruling BJP as a Jinnah party, crediting its Ratlam candidate for whom PM Modi campaigned on Monday. Congress spokesman Pawan Khera told media in New Delhi Guman Singh Damore contesting the Ratlam LS seat in MP on Saturday exposed the real thinking of the BJP and the RSS, wishing Jinnah should have been the first PM of India.

Why not BJP better adopt the new name as Bharatiya Jinnah Party, Khera asked, hoping the “blog minister” (Arun Jaitley) and self-styled Chanakya Amit Shah will respond on the Twitter.

Khera quoted from late BR Ambedkar’s book Partition and Pakistan in which he wondered about RSS ideologue Veer Savarkar, Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Jinnah in agreement on the two-nation theory even while fighting against each other.

He underlined it was Savarkar who propagated the theory of two nations in the Hindu Mahasabha convention in Ahmedabad in 1937, calling for a separate nation for Muslims. It was only after 3 years in 1940 the Muslim League raised the demand for a separate nation in its Pakistan declaration.

Khera said it is this hidden love of BJP and RSS for Jinnah that can be now understood as to why Modi refused to take oath until then Paksitan PM Nawaz Sharif attends his oath ceremony and why he went to Pakistan uninvited on the birthday of Sharif and why present Pakistan premier Imran Khan wants Modi to win.
