The former Union minister, who has held the portfolios of finance, defence and external affairs during the NDA regime, has had his share of problems with the party ever since he wrote a book on his visit to Pakistan praising its founder-leader Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
One should learn to read b/w lines when he has accidently become member of one of the worlds prestigious defence forums.
His pros with party started after praising Jinnah thus its concluded he was denied ticket coz he was having problems with party high command and why was he having problem coz he praised jinnah. Got it!!!
