The incident of attack on Taslima Nasreen at the Press Club premises, Hyderabad on Thursday by Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) MLAs Afsar Khan, Ahmed Pasha and Mozum Khan and their supporters, no matter what their convictions, reflects a total contempt for law by these law makers. It is a blatant attempt at obliterating the difference between our great country and our neighbor, Pakistan.
In a gesture further defying the laws of the land, President of the All India Ibtehad Council, Taqi Raza Khan ordered elimination (qatal) of the exiled novelist and declared a reward of Rs five lakhs for anyone who killed the "notorious woman". It is heartening to see some of the Muslim organisations and individuals criticising the whole episode and attempting to isolate these scum.
A quiet acceptance of such behavior will only encourage such elements in the society. The law makers who created a din by taking the law into their own hands must be taken to task and an example set for other MPs/MLAs in the country. How come the incident was not editorially condemned in TOI?

The incident in itself is shameful indeed, but its significance is that the lawmakers themselves are comfortable about taking the law into their own hand. They must be punished and made to understand that no one is above the law in this country.
