The president of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, has the cheek to defend his party MLAs for attacking Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen. “When the Bangladesh government has shunted Taslima out of the country, why is the Indian government protecting her?” he asked.
Well, Nasreen has been living in Kolkata for the last two years. What was Owaisi doing all this while? Sleeping in the House?
And come to think of it, this Owaisi's party is an ally of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. With such progressive allies, Manmohan Singh's... whatever; you know better.
Akbaruddin Owaisi, MIM’s leader in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, said his party was not worried about the case against its MLAs and activists. “She brought disrespect to Islam and we taught her a lesson,” he said.[Link]
Sure, this other Owaisi has managed to teach a lesson to his cousins in Bangladesh too. He is doing what they could not. Proud fella, must be.
