After being hounded out of Kolkata and Jaipur, controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen was shifted to an undisclosed location late on Monday night, minutes after the Centre decided to take charge of her security.The sleuths of the central security agency arrived at the Rajasthan House here well past midnight and whisked away the 45-year-old writer to a "safe place", official sources said.The decision to take control of her security came barely hours after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chaired a meeting of the Union Cabinet.Though the issue of Nasreen was not in the agenda, sources in the Government said it was discussed informally after which a decision in this regard is believed to have been taken.Nasreen, who holds a resident visa valid till February 17, 2008, has been kept at a "safe place" and away from media glare, the sources added.While being on the transit, the writer, who came to the city on November 23, spoke to some of her friends about the Centre's decision to take care of her security.The Union Home Ministry has stated that as long as the writer holds a valid Indian visa, "she should be given appropriate security wherever she is. If necessary, the Home Ministry will speak to the concerned state governments to ensure this."
