| | Rediff On The NeT: Jinnah was a villain says historian Rafiq Zakaria |
 | | Underlining his argument, Zakaria pointed out that while Jinnah was a member of the Congress from 1906 to 1920, he quit the party when, in 1920, Gandhi organised the first countrywide mass movement against the British and, in the process, brought Hindus and Muslims together on a common platform. |
 | | While damning Jinnah, Zakaria argues that the real patriots among the Muslims were Maulana Mohammad Ali, Maulana Azad, Dr M A Ansari, Hakkim Ajmal Khan, Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew, Maulana Madni and Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan -- all products of the Khilafat movement and remained with the Congress until the last, suffering tribulations. |
 | | We learn that the official will shortly be transferred, for "equating Mohammad Ali Jinnah with the national leaders" in the official audio-visual film to be shown on August 9. |
