(Does this mean the other parties are Jinnah supporters ? This is an example of how low the political parties have stooped to flatter the religious fanatics. It is disappointing that people vote for such parties and bring them to power. – Editor)

Editorial Viewpoints 

• It is a shame that keeping the name of Jinnah, who was responsible for the partition of the country and the massacre of one million Hindus, is okay in this country.
• There is Israel, which seeks out every Hitler supporter who oppressed Jews, and kills them. And here in India, we name a tower after a person who massacred Hindus.
