Taslima Nasreen had urged Amit Shah to say that I live in India because I love this great country. This has been my second home for the last 20 years. But the Home Ministry is not extending my residence permit since July 22. I am very worried about this. I will be very grateful to you if you allow me to stay in India. In 1994, a fatwa was issued against Taslima Nasreen, who was targeted by fundamentalists in Bangladesh for the books she had written. Taslima was accused of opposing Islam. After this Taslima had to leave Bangladesh.
, @AmitShah 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏A world of thanks.

In 1998, Taslima went back to Bangladesh but the outgoing Sheikh Hasina government did not allow her to stay there. After this she stayed in America and Europe. After this she came to India in 2004. Earlier Taslima used to live in Kolkata but later she started facing opposition in Kolkata also, due to which she had to shift from there to Jaipur. However, after living in Jaipur for some time, Taslima made Delhi her home. Taslima, who has openly expressed her views on atrocities against women and suppressing women in the name of religion in her writings, currently lives in Delhi.
