Bangla Author Taslima Nasreen Joins Issue With Mamata On Mother Teresa’s Missionary, Says Don’t Protect Criminals
Taslima Nasreen
Taslima Nasreen, the Bangladesh author who has been living on exile in New Delhi, is the latest to air her views on the controversy surrounding Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity. There is nothing new with the charity selling babies, she said in a tweet on Friday (13 July) night, adding: “please don’t try to protect criminals only because they are famous.”
Tasreen’s tweet come in the wake of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee saying that she suspected a BJP plot in trying to malign Teresa’s charity. In a tweet on Thursday, the Bengal Chief Minister condemned attempts to malign the Missionaries of Charity saying the Bharatiya Janata Party was targeting the missionaries sisters.
According to police, 450 unwed mothers were admitted by the home for deliveries but records show only 170 childbirths. Police said the arrested duo had confessed to have sold at least four babies.
