Two days after the BJP leadership expelled veteran leader Jaswant Singh for his views on Jinnah, RSS chief Mohan Rao Bhagwat on Friday said M A Jinnah was neither secular nor did he support the ideals of secularism.
Dissociating the RSS from the BJP decision and developments in the party over the issue, Bhagwat said the 'episode' purely concerns that party and it was their internal matter.
“It is an open chapter in history. Jinnah was the first man to lead the agitation towards creation of Pakistan because he saw Hindus separate from Muslims, a concept that was never in the minds of veteran leaders of the country. I don’t think that is secularism,” the RSS chief, who arrived here on a four-day visit said.
Even as he declined to comment on Singh’s expulsion, Bhagwat reacted to Singh’s comment on ‘matter of convenience and opportunism.’ Bhagwat responding to a query said that the RSS had brought young leadership to the forefront. “It is time for the BJP to have young leadership in line with public aspirations. Yeh prakriti ka niyam hai tarun netritva hona hi chahiye (it is the law of nature, time is ripe for young leadership to come to the forefront),” Bhagwat said
