Speaking about the demand by fundamentalists that her books should not be displayed at the Kolkata Book Fair, she said, "are the protests by fundementalists at all for religious reasons? I think they are trying to use me for political purposes. I have already said that I did not have any intention to hurt anybody's religious sentiment. I have even said if someone's sentiment is hurt then I am sorry. And I have deleted the controversial portion from my book Dwikhondito.”
“Then what is their problem?" Taslima said from Delhi over phone.
Taslima said, "even though I am being confined, I still have a hope that I will be able to go to Kolkata and lead a normal life."
"I hope so because I still have faith in Indian democracy and secular ideals," said the writer who was forced to leave Kolkata on November 22, a day after widespread violence in the city by a little known minority organisation demanding cancellation of her visa.

RatingHad people of my religion looking for my blood (as your situation), sure I would have left them by now. It appears, no humans from your faith dare enough to comforward and can rescue you. Sad...Sad...Sad
TASLIMA DID NOTHING WRONG AND BY THE WAY TASLIMA IS NOW FINDING PEACE OF MIND BY PRACTICING YOGA, SHE HAS RE DISCOVERED HER ANCESTOR'S FAITH MAY BHAGWAAN BLESS HER
TEESTA, TEESTA, WHERE ARE YOU? You come out and jump whenever any muslim terrorist is even slightly inconvenienced, voicing human rights of even convicted terrorists (provided they are muslims).. now, there is a lady in distress.. she is under house arrest by government, which is not just illegal, BUT IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and, it is done by a government.. where are you? come out.. or, your face will be exposed as the mercenary of the US to attack only Hindus and Hinduism, using human rights whenever it suits you.. COME OUT, COME OUT, GO TO SUPREME COURT IN DEFENCE OF A LADY WHO IS NOT A CONVICTED CRIMINAL LIKE SOHRABHUDDIN...OR, GET LOST TO THE US TO EAT THEIR BISCUITS..
So the very clever Taslima can’t work out what is the problem of Islamic Fundamentalists. It is very simple by amending her work to suit them she has accepted their right of censorship and provided them the taste or blood. Now they will keep on coming for more and more. Only way to deal with fanatics is to confront them head on.
It is a proof that UPA govt is hasitent to come clearly against pro fundamentalist pressure politics though they talk of secular politics.This policy creats advantage for MODIvata
Taslima should take up on Modi's offer and settle in Gujarat. He will not allow any Muslim fundamentalist traitors to harm her. All she has to do is learn the Gujarati language and generous Gujaratis will open their hearts to her. Even her literary career will thrive there.God bless this courageous woman.--Danesh Patel
The(ir) problem is far more deep-rooted, it would seem, than which a sorry can erase.
These idiot traitor politicians of Congress, SP and other members of UPA govt are the main reason why Narendar Modi wins in a huge margin in a civilized and prosperous state of Gujarat. I wish Modi were the PM of our country.
It is in our hands.. we have to make Narendra Modi the PM... actually, BJP in power will do.. It is not just Modi who is against muslim terrorism.. the whole of BJP and all normal Indians are against muslim terrorism.. So, what is in our hands is to make BJP the ruling party.. BJP will take care of the rest..
How long these religious fanatics will dominate India? A writer like her is facing house arrest while the criminals who abused her, threatened her are roaming free? What a great secular democracy we are living at!!!! Shame on such a democracy and spineless liars who call them “secular” politicians and continue to rule India.
She should have tried illeagally by getting the CPM membership to stay in Bengal freely instead of trying to stay leagally. Just get the CPM membership, you get all the cards you need such as voting card, ration card, citizenship card, freedom card and what not card.
Talisma did right.
