Taslima Nasreen 46 years old a Bangladeshi novelist on Wednesday left India to an unknown destination & has reached London, as she voiced her bitterness against the Indian government accusing it of being no better than “religious fundamentalists”.

The author refused to disclose where she was heading saying she did not want to “compromise” on her security.

Taslima Nasreen said, “If I disclose my destination my security will be compromised. My face has now become recognisable & I could be target of religious fundamentalists. I was put under tremendous stress but I could not speak out as I was under government surveillance & could be harassed by them. The government is no better than religious fundamentalists. I gradually came to realise that it was the chamber of death instead”.

Taslima has taken the decision primarily because of her medical condition. She is suffering from the high blood pressure & an eye problem. Many of her friends believed that the tight security around her is creating mental pressure & affecting her health.

Taslime Nasreen said, “I could not endure it anymore. I am leaving because there is no other option left for me”.
