The threat of beheading issued to Taslima Nasreen by the same gundas of a local political outfit in Hyderabad is not just a threat to a person but a challenge to the state's authority. Letting them get away with it, for any reason, would amount to a surrender by the democratic govts in AP and the Centre to elements opposed to all principles of civilised behavior. Under no circumstances must these fanatics be allowed to go scot free, even if it means ignoring their political affiliations.
Now that legal provisions for action against Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen's culprit MLAs have been identified and detailed, there should be no delays in setting an example for others of their kind.

Indeed. It appears as though the law of the land has not even been taken into consideration by the people who have undertaken these actions.
