Writer Taslima Nasreen claims that the current situation in Bangladesh will have the greatest impact on women.
During a recent interview, he claimed that Sharia law may soon be implemented in Bangladesh.
More than 600 people were killed in the violence that broke out during the movement against the government of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Currently, there is an interim government led by Mohammad Yunus in the country.
In an interview published in The New Indian Express, when Nasreen was questioned about the status of women, she said that women may be the worst affected.
The growing influence of radical Islamists will impose restrictions on women, taking away all their rights and controlling them through Sharia law.
He claimed that girls in universities have been asked to follow the dress code.
When asked in the interview if there has been a change in the attitude towards women after the departure of Sheikh Hasina, he replied ‘yes’.
He said that hijab/niqab/burqa has been introduced as a dress code and soon all this will become normal. He said that if Sharia law is implemented, women will have no rights.
Nasreen said there was no freedom of expression. She said human rights were being violated and women would soon have no rights after the implementation of Sharia law.
He said the interim government of Mohammad Yunus would make the situation worse as the removal of Sheikh Hasina was celebrated like a festival.
Nasreen had said- Islamic forces forced Hasina to leave the country
In August, Nasreen had said that the same Islamist forces who had driven her out of Bangladesh had forced Sheikh Hasina to leave the country.
Taslima was deported from Bangladesh in the 1990s following protests over her book ‘Lajja’. Protests erupted in Bangladesh over the reservation system in jobs.
