Taslima wants to return to Kolkata
Kolkata, PTI:
Controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen on Friday said she longed to be back in Kolkata from where she was bundled out on November 21, 2007, after violent street protests by the All India Minority Forum.
“I have left everything in Kolkata and I long to return there. I never wanted to leave, but as the government was pressuring me constantly, I was forced to,” Taslima said speaking over phone from Paris at a press conference here at the Press Club.
“After I left Kolkata, I was kept in a safe house by the government and then forced to leave the country. After that I have been shuttling from one country to another without any permanent location,” she said.
