K S Sudarshan, the leader of the RSS party has been praising Jinnah and stating that Jinnah was against a separate Muslim state (Pakistan). It was Gandhi who wanted to two states to appease both Jinnah and Nehru.

K S Sudarhan said “it was not Jinnah, but Gandhi’s soft corner for Nehru, which resulted in the 1947 partition of the country. He also said that Gandhi had repeatedly offended Jinnah. ``One day, when Jinnah went to meet the Mahatma, he was made to wait for an hour. Jinnah was a man of self-respect. Meanwhile, the British had poisoned his ears. Later, Gandhi tried convincing Jinnah but it was too late. Had Gandhi wanted, there wouldn't have been partition. But he was inflexible because Nehru was his weakness,'' (source Times of India).
