It probably took less than 3 minutes for BJP top brass to communicate to Jaswant Singh that it was great to work with him for 30 years and now he is sacked from the party for his views on Independence that contradict with party's ideology.
Is BJP too intolerant? Is this against our culture, custom bla bla...... well how can we treat someone like this? he has put in 30 years of his life, was a cabinet minister himself and one who's contribution to India's growth is unquestionable.
Well over 60 years of Independence and we still talk and argue over such worthless issues. I believe that our history, both pre and post independence is manipulated. Lots of facts are not mentioned or are inferred wrongly/ politically. We probably would never know some facts. We respect past, but it's dead. We just cannot keep doing postmortem over and over for proving our points, right or wrong.
So, I am happy that we Indians, individuals, parties, organizations etc are getting aggressive, and getting intolerant towards nonsense. The Jaswant Sing episode must be a learning for all of us that India cannot effort to focus on issues that matter least today. Anyone who speaks other than, economy, infrastructure, social justice, law and order, security & safety, fundamental rights and democracy should be out of the parliament. Today we cannot effort anything other then what I just mentioned and yes we must stop non-sense today.
Now, how do I see Mr. Jaswant Singh's contribution and his story. I see him as a batsman who is playing a Test Cricket Match, who has batted for long hours and he is now at 199. He then plays a lose shot and lose his wicket. No discounts whatsoever. It was a great innings, we are proud of you but you cannot be given a second chance to complete your 200. And this applies to all.
Thanks Mj. I am proud of your association with BJP, your contribution is great and we shall remember you as a great leader. India, let’s move on.
