9th August will be marked as Black Thursday for Freedom of Expression in India.
Celebrating 60th year of Democracy its shame for all of us.Noted Bangladeshi novelist Taslima Nasreen was roughed up by 20 activists of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) led by MLAs Afsar Khan, Ahmed Pasha and Mozum Khanat a book release function on Thursday 9th August at Press Club in Hyderabad.
The function was organised for Nasreen to release the Telugu translation of her latest novel Shodh .
As the function was about to conclude, the Goonda's of MIM suddenly barged into the hall and attacked the novelist and all other present with chairs,flower bookey,Chappals etc ,they damaged the furniture and glass panes and some of them even reached the dais and roughed up the novelist.
The so called member of Legislative assembly attacked Nasreen, because she had in her banned novel Lajja raised the hackles of Muslim organisations.
Police were mere spectator for all the commotion.Its total Law and order failure.The government should take strong action against the culprits and dismiss the Police commissioner for this shameful event.
We Indian are proud of our Democratic culture and Hospitality to our Guest but this incident had damaged our image in the globe.
In the country which now boast of Women President and Women chief of Congress Party which runs the government its matter of great worry and insult to Women's.
The freedom fighter on this 9th august will be sadden with this kind of treatment to the women and the guest to the country.
Let justice prevail.
Forget yourself for others, and others will never forget you.
