Do you think that Lal Krishna Advani was right in calling Jinnah secular?

Maybe L. K. Advani came to the same conclusion that I have come to, that though Jinnah was secular, he was convinced that the Congress was not and thought that the muslims in Undivided India would be at a distinct disadvantage to the Hindus due to the congress party being pseudo-secular. Maybe he thought that the Muslims would be politically subjugated by the Congress party as the congress had repelled the Muslim League's offer of sharing seats.
However, all political parties are keen to get into power in a democracy. In the hey-days of the congress which lasted till the beginning of the V. P. Singh government, this was true because the congress preferred to go alone and did not bother about coalition government formation. Jinnahs short sightedness is revealed because in the present political scenario in India, if the subcontinent had been undivided, the Muslim League would have been indespensible in coalition politics.
