I agree that the CPM is scared to lose its Muslim votebank and drove taslima out.But if one reads the controversial book, which created storm, and if he thinks rationally then i believe that it should heart sentiment of any religious minded people-I respect Mahashewta Devi for her writings but I dont agree to her political belief-She is ultra left-The politics the naxalites believe in.She has to keep in mind that India is not a communist country and hence the political parties should take people's sentiment in account.
