Why Advani was not expelled for praising Jinnah?

Advani praised Jinnah when he visited his tomb in June 2005 and described the founder of Pakistan as "secular" and an "ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity". It is not my words, but from the link - http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050605/asp/nation/story_4828954.asp

So, why Advani wasn't expelled for praising Jinnah and poor Jaswant was done in? It will be one of the mysteries. Advani has shamelessly agreed to take this decision of expelling such a senior person like Jaswant whereas his praising of Jinnah was left untouched.

BJP - Bharatiya Jokers' Party. How else one can describe this national party which was considered as the best opposition for the Congress party and only alternative for a stable govt. at the centre? After Vajpayee, the only other person who was capable of holding this party's future was Pramod Mahajan. After his unfortunate death, the party started deteriorating (or decaying) and lost its way. The loss in general election was yet another step in the melt down. Unlike the Congress party, BJP totally lost it plot to stage a comeback even though it has a good mandate.

Dr.Kalam scores over SRK

So much of fuss Shah Rukh Khan is making for getting detained. Yes, he may be an icon, but he is expected to go through checking process like any other citizen. What is the problem in it? Let him know the difficulty of thousands of others who undergo such experience. Being an icon may be of help in India where our people go to the extent of sacrificing their life, but it can't be the case everywhere. After all, I don't need to believe SRK is going to wear a Gandhi cap, hoist a flag and render the anthem at Chicago. Most likely, it will be just another "party", some felicitation and loads of fun!!

How decent Dr. Abdul Kalam had been when he was done the same by Continental Airline. SRK speaks as though he hates America and feel humiliated, but can't he take a leaf out of how Dr.Kalam reacted and be matured on his reaction? If SRK had just told "if this can happen to the most talented scientific pioneer of this country, why my case has to make so much news"

The bloody TV news channels have their tongues out - they got news for another one week - from how SRK packed his suitcase to what happened after he was cleared.

This country can never change until it stops treating cine people like larger-than-life heroes
