Taslima removes remarks

Controversial Bangladeshi feminist writer Taslima Nasrin has said she will withdraw some "controversial" lines from one of her books.

Ms Nasrin told TV channels on Friday that she would be dropping some lines from Dwikhondito, her 2003 autobiography.

"Now that some people in India have said they are upset with what I have said, I have decided to drop the controversial portions of the book and have told the publisher to take necessary action," she said.
