Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen on Wednesday slammed those who are boycotting Pakistani artistes, saying terrorists should be banned not artistes. In a series of tweets she said, “Today you ban Pakistani artists. Tomorrow you ban Bangladeshi writers. You will live with yourselves. ‘Pure Indian’ blood. Hitler’s idea of ‘blood purity’.”
Taslima, who is living in exile in India after facing death threats from fundamentalists in Bangladesh, added that these artistes belong to the places where art is honoured.
Taslima’s tweet came a day after filmmaker Karan Johar said he will not engage with talent from Pakistan in future.
On Tuesday, Taslima had also tweeted on the issue of triple talaq saying, “No religious law is good. Better to have a strict separation between religion and state. Uniform civil code based on equality and justice urgently necessary.”
