New Delhi, Aug 20 (PTI) The CPI today demanded withdrawal of Gujarat government's ban on expelled BJP leader Jaswant Singh's book on Mohammad Ali Jinnah saying the action "anti-democratic" and "reflects intolerance to non-RSS ideas".

"The ban only reflects intolerance to <b>non-RSS ideas</b>.  :wink:

It is an anti-democratic decision," the party's Central Secretariat said in a statement.

Observing that CPI and many others may not agree with Singh's views in the book, it said "in fact, there is nothing common between Communists and Jaswant Singh. But in a democratic society, everybody has a right to put forth ideas and opinions as long as these are not against national interests.

"It is a pity that the shadow of RSS is totally covering the BJP like an eclipse after its humiliating defeat in the recent elections," the CPI said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
