Bangla jihadis are plotting to kill me: Taslima Nasreen

April 23, 2015 08:57

Exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen in an interview to a leading English magazine said: "Bangla jihadis are plotting to kill me."

Bangladeshi terror group Ansarullah Bangla Team is plotting to cross over to West Bengal and then travel to New Delhi to kill her, she said.

According to insiders, Indian Intelligence agencies have warned Nasreen that she might be this terror outfit's next target. They are sending out threats to the writer on social networking platforms.

Ansarullah Bangla is the same group that plotted the murders of bloggers Avijit Roy and Wasiqur Rahman in Bangladesh. They had sent out threats to both on social networking platforms.

In one of her recent tweets, Nasrin has sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is presumed that she will ask for additional security cover for herself.
