Nasreen has been living a deported life in Sweden, America and India since 1994 after Ishaninda’s allegations.
The exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen on Sunday stated the similarities between the Pahalgam terror attack and the 2016 terror attack in Dhaka, saying that terrorism will remain as long as Islam will remain. In the session of a Literature Fest in Delhi, he said that Islam has not developed even in 1400 years.
He said- Until this does not happen, Islam will continue to give birth to terrorists. Muslims were killed in Dhaka’s attack in 2016 because they could not read Kalma. This is what happens when faith is allowed to dominate logic and humanity.
On 22 April, 26 people were shot dead by militants near Pahalgam in South Kashmir, most of whom were tourists. On 1 July 2016, terrorists opened fire on Holi Artison Bakery in Dhaka, killing 29 people.
Nasreen’s claim- Muslims busy in building mosque everywhere
Nasreen has been living a life exile in Sweden, America and India since 1994 following allegations of Taslima Ishaninda. He also told in his statement that church has turned into museums in Europe, but Muslims are busy building mosques everywhere. There are thousands of mosques and they want to build more mosques. They produce jihadis. There should not be madrasas. Children should read all books, not just one.
I love India, it feels like home- Nasreen
He said- I am a permanent resident of the United States. I have been there for 10 years, but I always felt like an outsider. I felt like home when I came to Kolkata. I found a second house in Delhi even after being expelled from West Bengal. This country has given me a feeling of belongingness, which could not give my own country.
Taslima expressed grief about Bangladesh and said that women in their country are deprived of all basic rights. Taslima also advocated the Uniform Civil Code. She said- There should be uniform civil code in every civilized country. Also in India. I support this. Islamic patriarchy wants the rights of the Quran. Rights should never be religious.
Nasreen has been living in India since 2011, permit renewed 6 months ago
Nasreen has been living in India since 2011 and has citizenship of Sweden. In October 2024, the Government of India increased the Indian Residence permit of Taslima Nasreen. After receiving the permit, the writer thanked Home Minister Amit Shah on the social media platform X.
Indeed, the resident permit is an official document, which allows a foreign national to stay in India for more than 180 days. Foreign citizens who plan to live in India for a longer time have to take this permit from the Foreign Regional Registration Office.
The reason for Taslima leaving Bangladesh …
- In 1994, a fatwa was issued against her in Bangladesh due to Taslima’s writing. The reason for this was his books. His novel ‘Lajja’ (1993) and his autobiography ‘Amar Meebela’ (1998) are particularly involved in this.
- ‘Lajja’ gave rise to controversy by the story of violence on Hindus in Bangladesh after the Babri Masjid demolition in India. The novel mentioned incidents of rape, looting and murder. This angered Islamic fundamentalists. Nasreen had to leave Bangladesh after heavy protests.
- He has since faced many challenges. He took refuge in India, but here too he had to change his place again and again. She first stayed in Kolkata and Jaipur, then settled in Delhi under a permanent residence permit.
The ban was banned only 6 months after the shame was published in Bangladesh.
- According to media reports, Taslima went to Bangladesh for a few days in 1998, but there was Sheikh Hasina’s government at that time. Therefore, he was forced to leave the country again by the Bangladeshi government.
- Taslima Sheikh Hasina’s opponent Khaleda Zia also holds Jia responsible for this. He had said that both of them did not allow him to stay in Bangladesh and promoted Islamic fundamentalists.
- Taslima also lived in Europe for many years. She moved to India during 2004-2005. She was initially in Kolkata, West Bengal. He had said that by staying close to Bangladesh, she will continue to feel the experience of her homeland from Kolkata. However, in 2007 she moved to live in Jaipur and now she lives in Delhi.
