Basit Ghafoor...

You sir are an idiot of the highest order.... brought up on lies taught to you by the Pakistani educational system.

There is NO evidence that Jinnah disowned his daughter. In fact if one reads the evidence is that he never abandoned his daughter... true his followers spread a story to counter Congress-backed-Mullahs propaganda... but Jinnah never disowned his daughter... Nor, if you are so premeditated in our system, does Islamic Law allow ``aaqnama``. It just cannot happen.

``Dina, India or Pakistan, the answer is, Who did Jinnah love the most till his death? Of course the nation of five rivers, Islamic Republic of Pakistan. ``

First of all what was this ``Islamic Republic`` which did not even exist then... and he loved his daughter the most. That much is clear.

Then you make a lot of nonsensical claims like Dina Wadia should change her name back to Dina Jinnah.... she has been divorced for over 40 years and has used Dina Jinnah since... Her son... Nusli... has NEVER criticised his grandfather...

And why should Nusli move to Pakistan? ... Is it the Pakistan that his grandfather dreamt of... should he move to Karachi and become a second class citizen as a parsi?


Please get a life Mr Ghafoor!

Is this article about the House or Jinnah`s descendants? Who the hell is the author to tellNusli Wadia where he should stay?

Two points.

1. The Indian government never declared Jinnah House as Evacuee property at the specific request of Jinnah. If that had happened, the property would have revoked to the state.

2. Since Jinnah never willed his house to GOP either, Dina Wadia does have a legal right to it. Why not just offer to buy her off? Which idiot in his or her right mind would give up sea facing property in South Bombay?

It should be torn down and used as a garbage dump.
