VAJPEYIS HANUMAN TURNED TO RAVAN FOR RAJNATH SINGH
"After 30 years, I've been sacked over a book." He tried to stay stoic, but Jaswant Singh broke down more than once while addressing the media in Shimla.
He said his main concern was that he was not informed personally about the decision to sack him.
The veteran politician also recalled a cartoon published in an English weekly some years ago which depicted him as 'Hanuman' in BJP.
"I have treasured the cartoon. I have framed the cartoon and it is still with me. Now I am being treated like Ravan," an emotional Jaswant said.
Jaswant's presser followed the public announcement by Rajnath Singh that the BJP has expelled him for his pro-Jinnah book.
Jaswant Singh arrived in Shimla to attend his Chintan Baithak session, a trip he says he should have been told to cancel: "I received a call this morning from the president of the BJP that I should absent myself from the meeting, because he said tempers were running high or words to that effect. I told him that I will go back to Delhi, but he said 'don't go back I will call you'."
The BJP says Jaswant Singh has been expelled because his book glorifies Mohammed Ali Jinnah and criticizes Sardar Patel for Partition. This was the author's response: "I thought this book would set Pakistan on fire. But it is troubling India." He added, "I have committed no sin...none whatsoever...against India". After this, he broke down in tears, and then paused to collect himself.
Sources have confirmed to NDTV that L K Advani supported the decision to sack Jaswant Singh. Advani himself created a huge controversy when, four years ago, he described Jinnah as a secular leader. Jaswant Singh said he sent a copy in English and Hindi to Advani and said, "There ought not to be selectivity when discussing dissent".
Reacting to that, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "L K Advani's case is different. Advani never said Sardal Patel was responsible for Partition. Jaswant Singh defied the party constitution and core."
Jaswant Singh says he does not regret writing his book.
Modi bans Jaswant's book
In a double whammy for Jaswant Singh who was expelled from BJP, the Gujarat government on Wednesday banned his controversial book on Pakistan founder M A Jinnah alleging it defamed the image of Vallabhbhai Patel.
"The Home Department has issued a notification putting a ban on sale of Jaswant Singh's book Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence in the state," an official in the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) official told PTI here.
"The book has been banned as it has certain references on Sardar Patel which defames his image," he said, adding, "the ban comes with immediate effect."
The book praises Pakistan's founder M A Jinnah and accuses first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Patel of being responsible for the partition of the country. (With PTI inputs)

THE WALL OF INDIA-RAHUL DRAVID. SET TO RETURN TO INDIAN TEAM.
CHENNAI: Former captain Rahul Dravid is set to return to the Indian One-day team after nearly a two-year gap when the selectors meet on Sunday to
pick the squads for next month's tri-series in Sri Lanka and the subsequent Champions Trophy in South Africa.
Krishnamachari Srikkanth and his colleagues in the selection committee would go by the players' performance in their last ODI series in the West Indies, which they won 2-1, besides their fitness levels which was assessed in Delhi and Mumbai under coach Gary Kirsten's hawk eyes.
"Apart from the performances of players in the Caribbeans, we will strictly go by the fitness reports of each cricketer, including those who were not part of the squad for West Indies," one of the selectors said.
Dravid's return is more or less certain for both the tournaments since the selectors believe such a move would bolster the Indian middle order which looked vulnerable to short-pitch stuff during the Twenty20 World Cup in England.
Besides, Dravid's inclusion is all the more important since opener Virender Sehwag is yet to complete his rehabilitation after undergoing a shoulder surgery.
"We strongly feel that Dravid is well equipped to handle short balls, which some of the younger players are unable to cope with. Moreover, Sehwag has not played any game since his injury and is yet to clear fitness test," the selector said.
Dravid played the last of his 333 ODIs back in October 2007 against Australia in Nagpur and the former India captain has amassed 10,585 runs at an average of 39.49.
Sehwag injured his shoulder during the Indian Premier League in South Africa and underwent a surgery. The Delhi batsman has started lifting light weights but will not be able to resume ground training before the first week of September.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has also indicated that Sehwag has little time to recover before the September 8-14 tri-series in Sri Lanka, which also involves New Zealand.
Sehwag himself has targeted next month's Champions Trophy, having missed the previous ICC event, the Twenty20 World Cup, because of the injury.
Sachin Tendulkar is also set to return to the side, after skipping the ODI series in the West Indies.
In Sehwag's absence, Tendulkar is likely to open the innings with Delhi left-hander Gautam Gambhir while stumper-batsman Dinesh Karthik is likely to be the reserve opener.
Suresh Raina, who missed the West Indies tour with a thumb injury, is expected to return which might cost Rohit Sharma his place in the side.
Yuvraj Singh and skipper MS Dhoni will fill the other slots in the batting order.
Harbhajan Singh will lead the spin attack, with left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha expected to retain his place.
Yusuf Pathan, who has been chipping in with the bat besides rolling his arms to good effect, will retain his place but Ravindra Jadeja may have to pave way for Abhishek Nayar who did not get a fair chance in the West Indies.
In the pace bowling department, Zaheer Khan's absence, owing to a shoulder surgery, weakens the attack. In this scenario, Ishant Sharma, RP Singh and Ashish Nehra are likely to retain their places, while Munaf Patel could be preferred to Praveen Kumar as the fourth seamer.
The selected Indian players will have a four-day training camp at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore from August 27. The camp is expected to focus on both physical conditioning and skills before the players disperse on August 30 to participate in the BCCI Corporate Cup.
The team is expected to regroup on August 7 before leaving for the Sri Lanka tri-series

AGAIN ONE REPUTED INDIAN INSULTED BY AMERCAN SECURITY AGENCY-SHAHRUKH KHAN
NEW YORK: The United States on Saturday denied the allegations that Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan was detained and questioned for two hours at the Newark airport or that the actor was singled out because of his name or Asian identity.
The allegations "happen to be incorrect," the spokesman of the US Customs and Border Protection Elmer Camacho said.
The spokesman said Shahrukh was inspected because his baggage had not arrived.
"His documents and papers were checked, which were found to be in correct order," Camacho said.
After a "normal" check at the airport, Shahrukh was taken to a different room where he was waiting for his turn since many other people were already there. The entire process ended in one hour, the spokesman said.
The entire process, he said, was handled in a "professional manner" and there was no evidence of Khan being pointed out because of his name or Asian identity.
To a question on Khan's contention that he was asked by immigration officials about his work in the US, the spokesman said "it's our policy not to discuss all specific (details) of any traveller".
However, when any travller enters the US, he or she is subjected to inspection, he added. (source: times of india)
