Jan 21, 2020

Kolkata, Jan 21 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) West Bengal vice president CK Bose on January 21 sparked controversy with his comments on erstwhile political leaders while speaking of India's partition. He said, "Jinnah was a secular leader, he never wanted partition and he was compelled and alienated by the Congress party. Jinnah was not in favour of Pakistan, India got divided because of the communal leaders of the Congress regime, Sardar Patel, Pandit Nehru and even Mahatma Gandhi who accepted partition."
