Speaking to Mail Today, Nasreen said, “Members of the Ansarullah Bangla Team are so brazen that they post online hate messages before they attack. They had done that before killing Avijit and Washiqur and now they are posting hate messages targeting me."

Stating that it is scary, Taslima Nasreen added, "As long as I live, I will not be silenced.”

Quoting an intelligence officer, the report added that the radical Islamists in Bangladesh are after Taslima and she has been on their radar for a while now."

The reports further said, "Washiqur Rahman was attacked after he wished Taslima on her birthday on his Facebook page".

According to reports in a Dhaka newspaper earlier this month, the killers of Rahman had confessed that members of the Ansarullah Bengali Team are infiltrating into West Bengal with a plan to assassinate Taslima in Delhi.

On April 19, Nasreen tweeted, "I have been trying desperately to meet you, Modiji. Would you kindly fulfil my wishes? Sincerely Yours, T."
