A group of over 40 MIM workers, led
by party MLAs Afsar Khan, Ahmed Pasha and Mouzam Khan, barged
into the press club at Somajiguda when the function was about to
end. Hurling abuse and shouting slogans, the MIM workers surged
menacingly towards the dais as a stunned Nasreen looked on.
They threw papers and books at Nasreen. In the melee, Telugu
writer N Innaiah, the organiser of the function and president of
the rationalist organisation Centre for Inquiry, was injured
along with a press photographer.
Alert organisers and journalists covering the event threw a
protective ring around Nasreen and took her to an adjoining
room. |
