Cleric objects to Taslima Nasreen's tweets

An FIR has been lodged in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, against controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, after a Muslim cleric of the district alleged in a police complaint that she has "hurt religious sentiments" with her tweets.

Hasan Raza Khan Noori Miyan, whose father Maulana Subhan Raza Khan (Subhani Miyan) heads the famous Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat in Bareilly, filed the police complaint against Ms Nasreen for tweeting on November 6, "Indians should speak up against fanatics who vitiate society and push it backward and politicians who encourage them. Else, it's bad news for democracy."
