NEW DELHI: It’s official. Ten months after he was expelled by the BJP for complimenting Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his book, Jaswant Singh has been welcomed back to the mother ship. “It’s a day of great happiness for all of us,” said party president, Nitin Gadkari, flanked by Jaswant Singh and senior leader LK Advani. “I look forward to his attendance at every party meeting,” Gadkari added.
LK Advani said, “With happiness, there is a sense of relief.”
“It is good to be back among familiar faces,” said Singh. “I express my great gratitude to Advani who took the initiative some months back. He telephoned me and asked if I would speak to him…I was humbled by that…then he asked if I would meet with him…he said we would treat this chapter as closed,” Singh said the “humiliation” he suffered when he was expelled was compensated for by the extreme graciousness shown by Advani.
