Expulsion sad and regrettable, says Jaswant Singh

Shimla, August 19: Describing his expulsion from BJP as “saddening and regrettable”, Jaswant Singh today said that he will not appeal against the decision or seek any review though he felt that the party did not follow procedures.

He also made it clear that he did not regret writing the book on Mohammad Ali Jinnah and stood by whatever he has written on the “painful period of history”.

A visibly emotional Singh said that he was sad that his 30 years of association with BJP has come to such an end but felt he could have been told not to come to Shimla.

Singh, a member of Lok Sabha from Darjeeling in West Bengal, said his political life was not over and that he would continue to be a member of Parliament.

“Regret.
