Senior BJP leader and party incharge of Uttar Pradesh Kalraj Mishra today said that the disciplinary action against Jaswant Singh was justified.
Talking to newspersons here, Mishra said Singh has eulogised Mohammad Ali Jinnah in his book "Jinnah-India, Partition, Independence" which is against the party's core ideology.
"Jaswant Singh's views on Mohammad Ali Jinnah is against the party's core ideology and amounts to grave indiscipline. The party's move to expel him is justified," he said.
In reply to a question, Mishra said senior BJP leader L K Advani's statements on Jinnah during a visit to Pakistan in 2005 were made in a different context and the two episodes should not be compared.
