Taslima herself has been living in exile ever since she faced extreme resistance and threats from fundamentalists after she penned down ‘Lajja’, a book based on anti-Hindu riots in the country after demolition of Babri Mosque in India in 1992.

Nasreen went on to say that the terrorists had ‘good links with ISIS’. Earlier on Sunday, Bangladesh Home Minister had claimed that all six terrorists were locals and had nothing to do with the international terror group.
