NEW DELHI, Dec 20: Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen on Thursday said she was ordered to go into hiding in India to avoid renewed protests over her “anti-Islamic” writings, the Press Trust of India reported.
Nasreen told the domestic news agency by telephone that she would “not be allowed to return to Kolkata for now.”
The 45-year-old writer, who fled Bangladesh in 1994 following death threats from fundamentalist Islamic groups, has lived in the eastern Indian city since 2004, after spending time in Europe and the US.—AFP
