'If you are atheist, secularist, Hindu or Buddhist, you'll be killed in Bangladesh'

New Delhi: Noted author and columnist Taslima Nasreen on Wednesday condemned the killings by extremists in Bangladesh, stating those who do not conform with their ideology are usually killed.

Nasreen, who is quite vocal about her criticism for bigotry and extremism, took to Twitter and wrote, “If you are atheist, rationalist, secularist, humanist, freethinker, progressive, Hindu, Shia, Ahmadiyy, Christian or Buddhist then you will be killed in Bangladesh.”
