Jaswant Singh may have been expelled from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for writing a book on Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, but he has become an instant hero in Pakistan.
Singh was applauded by the Pakistani media for the book and even got help from his friends in Pakistan to author the book “Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence” in which he praised Jinnah. Prominent among his friends who helped him out were Pakistani High Commissioner Shahid Malik and head of Dawn newspaper Hamid Haroon.
Reliable sources maintain that both Malik and Haroon provided substantial material to help Singh author the book.
