Taslima Nasreen

Taslima Nasreen
While ignoring the fatwa passed by a Muslim Cleric in Kolkatta promising "Unlimited reward for killing Taslima" it must be stressed that the awarding of death penalty is vested only with the Courts of Law.
I certainly do not agree with the satement of Taslima, "Just like they have a right to express their views, I, too have a right to vent my views".Yes, she has a right to vent her views in her own country but not in India where she is given refugee status.
She cannot have the right to introduce religious controversies in our countrty.Taslima must understand the right to free speech is guaranteed to Indian citizens and not to those allowed to live here as refugees.
It is high time the Government of India cancelled her visa.
