Jaswant Singh singh to rejoin BJP

Lok Sabha MP and former External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh will rejoin the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) later Thursday, a party spokesman said. He will be admitted into the party in the presence of senior leader LK Advani and party president Nitin Gadkari, spokesman Ramnath Kovind told IANS. Jaswant Singh's reinduction into the party fold comes 10 months after he was expelled from the BJP over his book on Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah in August last year. Jaswant Singh represents Darjeeling in West Bengal in the Lok Sabha.
