Veer Savarkar cannot be compared to Jinnah.

This is in response to a ridiculous statement by a CPI leader in one of the shows conducted by SAB TV, where he arguably compared Veer Savarkar to M.A.Jinnah.Although M.A.Jinnah had some role in the Indian freedom struggle, he had a major role in the Indian partition, which we moan till now. Partition was something that Veer Savarkar was strongly protesting. So Jinnah first being good and then turning hostile has no comparison with Savarkar’s sacrifice in pre-independence era and his national service in post independence India. Jinnah turning hostile later on was selfishness on his part, whereas Veer Savarkar never put himself before the country. None of the acts of Veer Savarkar were in self-interest. Whether or not, his actions were good, may be a question pertaining to individual point of view, but no one can disagree his sense of patriotism, national pride, and service to the nation. So its sheer madness to compare a patriot like, Veer Savarkar to a traitor like Jinnah.
