Jinnah’s doctor a Zoroastrian

This is with reference to the article, ‘Jinnah and miracle that just never happened’ (May 19). The writer mentions the name of Dr Patel of Bombay who kept Mr Jinnah’s fatal disease a secret.

I would like to mention here that Dr Patel’s full name was Dr Jal Patel and he was a Zoroastrian. We Zoroastrians are proud of the fact.
