Controversial Tweets That Made Headlines

Taslima Nasreen (August 2011):
Taslima Nasreen, a Bangladeshi author kicked a storm when she tweeted, "My Nepali friends, I missed my flight to go to Kathmandu today. I forgot to bring my passport as I didn't consider Nepal a foreign country!" She was scheduled to arrive in the Nepal capital for the launch of the English translation of her book  ‘Lajja’ at a literary festival. The comment not only hurt the sentiments of her Nepal fans but was also interpreted as a sign of her poor knowledge of world geography. Later Nasreen, known for her feminist outlook and for her criticism of Islamic tenets, said she was "shocked and hurt" by the reactions to her comments, especially since she felt close to Nepal as a country. "An exiled homeless writer, I feel people who love/support me are my home. I got love from Nepal that made me feel at home! My emotions get mocked," she tweeted.
