A political party can not be with the composition of leaders with A to Z similar ideology. There are differences over many issues, specially regarding Historical facts and view-point to gaze them. If there is some gross anomaly, it could be sorted out with mutual understanding and at least if the expelling is inevitable, there must be a dignified procedure laid down, with which the ruling is declared.
The founder member, who served 30 years to the Party, can and must not be expelled in the way that Jaswant Singh has been. Many people see it as a whip on a soft target, for the reason of Advani being surviving even after saying Jinnah a secular leader in his Pakistan journey.
If our major political parties behave like this, then what should we rely upon? Is the thinking processes within these parties are lost? Shouldn't there be a sense of analyzing what happened in the past, and from what point of view, with what proofs we can see it? If it continues this way, then internal and individual thinking process of a leader will be buried under the sand of Political power games, as in this case, since RSS was with the demand of a strong decision, so expelling had to happen! And without RSS'es ground work, BJP can't sail its power ferry.
Even I don't subscribe completely to what jaswant Singh writes but there must be a freedom of speech and thinking, so what if he is a part of the political organization like BJP, he hadn't challenged party's agenda; to mould its position over Jinnah or anything in that regard, he had simply written the book, and if Party is strongly against it, it must have conveyed it to him and first ought to have sought for volunteer resignation. There could have been a debate over the issue and proper time frame must have made available to the author to describe his views more in detail.
It's now like a worker shown pink slip, after all political parties are intellectual properties of a Nation, if they behave in this harsh manner, then where does their credibility towards Nation stays? Can we rely upon such hasty parties to reign the country? I am deeply disappointed and regret this unjustified decision taken by BJP leadership; today for the first time I am seriously contemplating of forming my own political party one day, which will surely be a lot open in terms of ideological flexibility and principle centric approach specially to its veteran leaders. Even if an elderly member of family does something wrong, can younger throw him out in this way? This is not at all my Hindu culture tells me, neither it serves the basis of being a political organization in the world's oldest civilization.
