Amid protests by Muslim groups against hosting Salman Rushdie in Jaipur, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today said one may have differences with what he writes but the “very, very eminent” writer is welcome in the capital.
Dikshit’s remarks came when asked about the open invitation extended by artist-activist group ‘Sahmat’ to Rushdie yesterday to attend a function in Delhi following developments in the Jaipur Literature Festival.
