Taslima Nasreen slams Arundhati Roy for her Pakistan military comment

New Delhi, Aug 29 (IBNS): Bengali writer Taslima Nasreen has hit out at author Arundhati Roy who triggered a row by stating Pakistan has never used military against its own people.

Taslima said in a tweet, "How brutal Pakistani army we know. They raped 200,000 women & killed 3 million in East Pakistan.They robbed our house,almost killed my father.Why did Arundhati say Pak Army don't attack people in their country? She was thoughtless in 2011. Thoughtless also for the past 8 years?"

Arundhati, who is known for her controversial stand on Kashmir, also claimed that it is India which has used force on the people of Pakistan. As the video circulated widely, netizens have criticised the Booker prize-winning novelist.

Arundhati's controversial statement came weeks after the Narendra Modi government scrapped Articles 370 and 35A to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir's special status and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir with an assembly and Ladakh without an assembly.

Earlier Arundhati had opined that Kashmir needs to be separated from India.

Contrary to the Indian author's stand, Taslima days ago supported the Centre's historic move to scrap Article 370 and also opined the Sharia law should also be abolished.

She had tweeted, "Article 370 had to go. Sharia law or Islamic law should go too. The method that was used to abolish 370 is actually much more needed to abolish anti-women sharia law and to establish a Uniform Civil Code based on equality."
