India urgently needs uniform civil law: Taslima Nasreen
Bangladeshi author and freedom of expression advocate Taslima Nasreen on Monday said India urgently needed a uniform civil law. Further, Nasreen added that Muslim women are “oppressed” and that uniform civil law is the need of the hour to protect their rights. Her 1993 novel “Lajja” had garnered severe criticism in Bangladesh, eventually forcing her to leave the country.
