The Swedish Bengali writer living in India under the refugee status and extremely controvertial within the muslim community having received life threats for her anti orthodox writings within her own community who had authored several controvertial books, Tasleema Nasreen had been a strong critic of the TMC chief and the West Bengal chief minister despite the fact that both of them are strongly secular and liberal in nature, action and ideology.

While the boiterous and outspoken leader of TMC is busy these days on issues such as the non BJP opposition unity and speaking aggresively against the union government on excluding 40 lakh people of Assam from the NRC and even promising to give them shelter in West Bengal, the controvertial writer Tasleema has tweeted twice ridiculing Mamta’s stand of providing shelter raising her own issue when she was not allowed to settle in Bengal after the Communits threw her out in 2007 n thereafter. In her tweets which elicited 2500 retweets and approximately 5000 likes with over 480 comments in all she writes: Tweet number (1)
Good to see that Mamataji is so sympathetic to the 40 lakh Bengali speaking people. She even says that West Bengal will shelter those people left out of Assam. HOW COME SHE DOSEN’T have any sympathy for me who was thrown out of Bengal by her rival party.
Tweet number (2)
Mamtaji, does not have sympathy for all rootless or home less Bengali speaking people. If she had she would have sympathy for me and she would have allowed me to enter West Bengal. It may be recalled that in 2007 when Tasleema Nasreen was ousted from West Bengal by the then communist government after her permit to stay in India was extended but the then spokesman of the BJP Prakash Jawadekar met her in Rajasthan House and tried to help her.
He had then accused the then Bengal CPM government of pseudo – secularism and said that the eviction of Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen from Left-ruled West Bengal exposed CPM’s ‘pseudo-secularism’.

Prakash Javedkar had then said that the ,”Taslima affair”, has exposed the CPM’s so-called secularism. First they failed to protect her, then reduced her security in the face of threat from Muslim groups and finally forcefully evicted her from Kolkata and sent her to Jaipur.

In an interview given to a news agency in 2017 Tasleema accused Mamta Bannerjee as a Muslim fanatic and said by not allowing her to enter West Bengal she did the same thing as was done by the Communist government in 2007 when I was ousted from Bengal with the fear of losing the muslim and the Bengali votes. She added that throwing her out of any state would not help them to get the muslim votes. She had also criticized Mamta Bannerjee on the Rohingya muslims refugee issue when the West Bengal chief minister had issued statement saying that she will house and nurse the poor suffering children of the devastated Rohingya families.

In one of her comments on the film of Amir Khan lauding him for the success of PK which had earned Rs. 300 crores Tasleema Nasreen, highly critical of Bangladesh and Pakistan for their religious fundamentalism, had then said that had he mocked their Gods in these countries as he had mocked Hindu Gods in his movie in india, he would have been either hanged publicly or given capital punishment. India is a too tolerant nation.

    No where in the world you will find such politics. Sri Lanka where Government as well as opposition has raised a single voice that Rohinghayas will be deported back . No vote politics. There is good amount of muslim population there but the safety and security comes first. TMC and INC are going too far. Where is the question of hindu and muslims. Its illegal immigrants
