West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari says author Taslima Nasreen is welcome to visit the state, telling her, “Come to Bengal as much as you want.” In his remarks, Adhikari frames West Bengal as “safe,” and argues that Nasreen’s presence there would itself demonstrate that democracy and constitutional values are upheld. He also links the invitation to broader assurances about freedom of speech and fundamental rights being secure in the state.
The remarks are presented as a response to public discussion around Nasreen’s place in public life and her ability to speak freely. Adhikari’s statement emphasizes political and legal protections, asserting that the environment in West Bengal allows for open expression and respect for rights.
The report reflects Adhikari’s position and does not include detailed responses from Nasreen within the provided text.
