(qatal) of the exiled novelist. The decision, he said, had full approval of All
India Muslim Personal Law Board (Jadid), a splinter group set up four years ago
in
Khan
said he had declared a reward of Rs 5 lakh for anyone who killed the
"notorious woman". He claimed a core body of the board comprising 150
ulema, lawyers, retired IPS officers, doctors and professors had already passed
a resolution on Thursday to oust Nasreen from
Would the decision be reconsidered? Only if "woh

What

"We
have been hearing that the Indian government is thinking of granting her
citizenship. The idea is repugnant to all God-fearing Muslims.
If
the government does not drive her out within 10 days, all hell will break
lose."
