The seventh part of controversial author Taslima Nasreen’s autobiography,’Nirbasan’ (Exile), was today released outside its scheduled venue at the Kolkata Book Fair as a mark of protest, after the organisers refused to go ahead with it following ‘protests by fundamentalists’.
“Kolkata Book Fair committee canceled my book release program today at Kolkata Book Fair. Why? Some religious fanatics don’t want it to happen,” tweeted Taslima who was not present.
