V. Seshadri's book, 'Tragedy of Pakistan', in which he has held India's first home minister Sardar Patel also responsible for the partition, Bhagwat said: 'He had only chronicled and analysed the events that took place (leading to partition).'

Both Seshadri and Jaswant Singh have held India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel responsible for the partition of the country in 1947.

Singh was expelled from the party last week for his book praising Jinnah and also his interview to a news channel saying that Jinnah had been 'demonized'.
