Islamabad: Pakistan Opposition party, the PML-Q, has invited former External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh to Pakistan to launch his controversial new book on the country's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, saying that it would be a step towards promoting intellectual and people-to-people understanding.
PML-Q Secretary General Mushahid Hussain Sayed telephoned Singh and congratulated him on his book, which he described as a "landmark and historical work which sets the record straight."
"I spoke to Singh yesterday and told him his book reversed the wrongs of history and reflected his commitment to truth and his moral courage. We invited him to launch his book in Islamabad as it would be a step towards promoting intellectual and people-to-people understanding," Sayed said.
He also said Singh had told him he would visit Pakistan after the holy month of Ramzan for the launch of his book "Jinnah: India-Partition-Independence."
PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain has also written a letter to Singh to express his appreciation for his book.
