Pakistani Newspapers on Jaswant Singh's Book

Says Daily Times, “The Quaid can save Pakistan from its internal crisis if is Pakistanis are prepared to see that the terrorists hiding behind “Islam” are opposed to what he wanted Pakistan to be. […] He was never an enemy of India; India can reclaim him now. And in the process, India and Pakistan can change their bilateral equation […] accepting the mutual co-operation and economic interdependence dictated by history and current circumstances.”

The Dawn lays down a challenge: “Can we [in Pakistan] imagine a similar statement about India's independence leaders? Mr. Singh has been treated shabbily, but the whole affair demonstrates that India, or a part thereof, is at least trying to come to terms with the ghosts of partition, and assess it in a frank, honest manner. Can anyone in Pakistani politics claim such boldness?”
