With his book on Mohammed Ali Jinnah evoking equal interest on both sides of the border, expelled BJP leader Jaswant Singh is heading to Pakistan to promote his work. He will be travelling to Islamabad and Karachi where the book Jinnah — India, Partition, Independence has been flying off the shelf ever since his expulsion from the BJP.
While Singh is scheduled to visit a leading bookshop in Islamabad on Friday for an interactive talk followed by a book-signing session, the dates may get deferred as he is still awaiting security clearances from the Pakistan government.
“We have been getting a remarkable response on the book and have invited him here for a signing session. The function is scheduled for Friday but his security clearances are still awaited,” Mohammed Yousuf, owner of Mr Books in Islamabad — he is hosting Singh — told The Indian Express.
