"Many of my books are banned in Bangladesh. My book was banned in West Bengal too. Its government not only banned my book, it forced me to leave the state too. The new government banĀned the release of my book NirĀbasan in 2012 and a few months ago forced a TV channel called Akash Ath to stop telecast of a mega serial I wrote. The serial was about womenās struggle and how three sisters living in Calcutta fight agaĀinst patriarchal oppression to live their lives with dignity and honour. She (Mamata Banerjee) banĀned me to appĀease some misogynist mullahs."
