Gandhinagar, Aug 21 - The Congress party in Gujarat Friday said it plans a campaign against expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jaswant Singh and his views on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's alleged role in India's partition in his controversial book 'Jinnah: India, Partition, Independence'.

The Gujarat Congress plans a series of awareness campaigns against the former external affairs minister for what it called doubting the patriotism of Patel, a great freedom movement leader, a Gujarat Congress statement said here Friday.

The campaign comes at a time when Gujarat is set to hold by-polls to seven assembly seats Sep 10.

The campaigns would see Congress leaders travelling to various places in the coming week to start an awareness campaign on the 'objectionable comments' made by Singh in his book on Mohammed Ali Jinnah.
