Taslima
came to Delhi, India. She was not allowed to go to her home in
Kolkata. She was not even allowed to go to Kolkata only for 2 days to finally
leave her apartment and bring her valuable books and belongings. She was
forced to transfer all her stuff from Kolkata to Delhi. She was given the
extension of her residential permit for India with the condition that
she must leave India in a few days. She stayed in a friend's house
in Delhi and left some of her belongings in her friend's house and
some in a storage. She was forced to leave India once again with no hope
for future. The criminals who attacked Taslima and issued fatwa against her are
moving around freely but Taslima, a secular and humanist author is
getting punished for the crimes the Islamic fundamentalists
committed against her.

for fighting for the rights of humanity.

country she adopted, to follow a uniform civil code.
As
a writer, she felt very safe in India and felt at home in Kerala.Taslima said
her only fault was that she had fought fo secularism and equality.
Taslima
said she would continue the fight for rights of women. Forests Minister Binoy
Viswam inaugurated the book festival.

Lucknow
--- Nearly seven months after UP minister Haji Yakoob Qureshi raised a storm by
announcing a reward on the heads of two Danish cartoonists for lampooning the
Prophet, a little-known conservative Muslim group on Friday offered a Rs 5 lakh
bounty for the head of controversial Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen.
President
of the All India Ibtehad Council, Taqi Raza Khan ordered the elimination
(qatal) of the exiled novelist. The decision, he said, had full approval of All
India Muslim Personal Law Board (Jadid), a splinter group set up four years ago
in Bareilly. Jadid means new.
Khan
said he had declared a reward of Rs 5 lakh for anyone who killed the
"notorious woman". He claimed a core body of the board comprising 150
ulema, lawyers, retired IPS officers, doctors and professors had already passed
a resolution on Thursday to oust Nasreen from India. Khan enjoys wide support
among the Barelvi sect and the issue is likely to generate heat in coming days,
especially with assembly elections round the corner, observers said.
Would
the decision be reconsidered? Only if "woh mafi mangey, apni sari kitabein
jalaye, aur tauba kare (she apologises, burns her books and leaves)," Khan
said.
What
has Nasreen done to ruffle this body? "Yeh aurat behad badzuban hai, aur
Shariat par hamla karti rahi hai (this woman has a vicious tongue and has been
attacking the Shariat)," said Khan.
"We
have been hearing that the Indian government is thinking of granting her
citizenship. The idea is repugnant to all God-fearing Muslims.
If
the government does not drive her out within 10 days, all hell will break
lose."
