Jo suggests she is guilty by association:

Well, I wouldn’t blame her friends supporting her (after all they are her ‘friends‘), but I am not sure about some of their substantial reasons in their articles in support that “I am a born Christian and an atheist…” or “I am a Muslim but never felt…” kind of tone. Do Sonal having Christian friends or Muslim friends make the accusations look less important? Heck, BJP has a Muslim MP on their fold, does that make them secular? And sometimes back Advani had renewed his admiration towards Jinnah and recently he met the Christian leaders here in Kerala, but does that put away the riots following Babri Masjid demolition and the renewal of the Hindu-Muslim hatred in India?
