All political or quasi political parties are liars as lying is their stock in trade. The voters in turn like to be taken for a ride and that is why no respectable or honest person is successful in politics.
Advani did the right thing by showing his guts to call Jinnah a secular person in Pakistan itself because Pakistan that accepts Jinnah as the father of the nation is anything but secular. Jinnah was more secular than Nehru and all Congressmen combined as they introduced "minorityism" into the Indian polity for garnering the block Muslim vote. Pakistan is Islamic and Islam and secularism are anathema to each other. For knowing the truth one has to read the Koran and the Hadiths for himself instead of believing what the media or politicians are dishing out as they are apologists for Islam.
The RSS fell into the trap laid by the raucous and predisposed media by blindly believing it when it critisised Advani for calling Jinnah secular. The Sangh should have supported his move for increasing the existing cleavage in Pakistani society where there are thousands of sensible and rational citizens still around who believe in Jinnah’s secular views. Advani should know as he is from Sindh where the Jiye Sindh movement was once quite rife.
It is an appeasing Gandhi who had laid the foundation stone of the two nation theory by his Khilafat movement after Kamal Attturk of Turkey had abolished the Caliphate in the 1920s. The RSS is known for its body building, drills and marches but not for its intellect, as free thinking acts as a barrier to regimentation that such organisations strongly inculcate. Resistance to change is highly ingrained in such a set up even though the RSS will swear by the Bhagvad Gita which exemplifies its core thesis that the only constant in the universe is constant change.
The truth is that ALL political parties including the Communists need money to meet their day to day requirements. An all India party like the Congress needs at least Rs.20 crores per day or Rs. 600 crores a month to meet the Party's expenses and maintain its cadres. Where do you think this money comes from? Every body knows that all Parties or politicians need money to keep their machinery running and fighting elections as we have a grossly defective political system in India. But being a hypocritical nation we don't forgive anyone who gets caught! The Commies have the best track record in this nefarious activity because being bit role players they proficiently use the grassroots cadres and the entire State machinery to do their dirty job and no big politician is ever caught with his hands in the cookie jar. They have a CITU or AITUC affiliated trade union for every activity that includes the State Police Department as well who are all very effectively used to fill the Party's coffers, conduct and rig elections for their benefit. It is a time tested practice that has proved very successful for over three decades now.
