Taslima Nasrin
Hasan Raza Khan Noori Miyan is enraged at Taslima Nasrin for pointing out that some Muslim clerics don’t respect free speech. In response, he tries to suppress hers forcibly. A First Information Report (FIR) is a written complaint to police. “Muslim cleric objects to Taslima Nasreen’s tweets, files FIR,” from India Today, December 5 (thanks to all who sent this in):
An First Information Report has been lodged against controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen for allegedly hurting religious sentiments following a complaint by a prominet [sic] Muslim cleric in Bareilly district of north Indian state Uttar Pradesh.
The case was lodged last night at Kotwali police station by Hasan Raza Khan Noori Miyan, son of the ‘sajjadanasheen’ of Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat Maulana Subhan Raza Khan Subhani Miyan, who objected to certain tweets by Nasreen against clerics on November 6, police sources said here Thursday.
In the complaint, it was alleged that with her remarks against clerics on Twitter the writer had hurt the feelings of the Muslim community.
Earlier, during a meeting last evening, Noori Miyan said a fatwa is issued in the light of Hadees [Hadith] and Quran. It was demanded that the passport of the writer should be seized and she should be arrested.
These are the supposed tweets that got Nasreen into trouble:
Since independence, Indian politicians have been seeking help of clerics who don’t respect human rights,free speech and the Constitution.
