Demanding ouster of controversial writer Taslima
Nasreen, the All India Minority Forum today accused the government of trying
to protect her though she has hurt sentiments of Muslims in the country.
"Taslima has not only hurt the sentiments
of Muslims, but she has defamed the Indian Constitution. The government should
not extend her visa and she should move out of this country immediately,"
president of the Forum Idris Ali told a rally organised by the All India Muslim
Personal Law Board.
Nearly 500 delegates from all over the country
spoke in the open session in front of 1.5 lakh people gathered to hear them
after the completion of the two-day all India seminar organised by the Board
after a gap of 23 years in the city.
Some speakers emphasised the need to preserve
the Shariat law which, they maintain, only can preserve the identity of the
Muslims in general.
"There has been several attacks against
the Muslim personal law. This is not at all desirable. The Muslims in this
country have their own identity and that can only be preserved by the law
framed according to Holy Koran," assistant general secretary of the Board
Md Abdur Raheem Quraishi said.
