Botad (Gujarat)/New Delhi: Saffron forces on Tuesday
jumped into the raging controversy over Bangladeshi
writer Taslima Nasreen with Chief Minister Narendra
Modi inviting her to Gujarat and RSS demanding
political asylum for her. 

"Taslima has been courageous in speaking out against
fundamentalists. If the Central government cannot look
after her, send her to Gujarat. The people and
government of Gujarat will look after her. I have the
courage to protect her," the Chief Minister said while
addressing an election meeting in Botad town of
Bhavnagar district. 

Modi, the Sangh's poster-boy, alleged that the Central
government was trying to send Nasreen out of the
country. 

Accusing the Central Government of not being clear on
Bangladesh, Modi said first it was unsuccessful in
stopping infiltration and now the political allies of
those in power have overnight forced Nasreen to flee
from Kolkata. 

He said Taslima, who has written against
fundamentalists, was first sent to Rajasthan and then
to New Delhi. 

Speaking on the sidelines of a function in Delhi, RSS
Chief K S Sudharshan told PTI that "she should be
given political asylum.
