ಲೇಖಕ ಸಲ್ಮಾನ್ ರಶ್ದಿ ಮೇಲೆ ದಾಳಿ: ಸಾಹಿತಿಗಳು ಸೇರಿದಂತೆ ಗಣ್ಯರಿಂದ ಖಂಡನೆ 

I just learned that Salman Rushdie was attacked in New York. I am really shocked. I never thought it would happen. He has been living in the West, and he has been protected since 1989. If he is attacked, anyone who is critical of Islam can be attacked. I am worried.

I condemn the barbaric attack on Salman Rushdie by some fanatic . I hope that NY police and the court will take the strongest action possible against the attacker .

Utterly horrified & shocked by the stabbing of @SalmanRushdie. Wish him a speedy & complete recovery from his wounds, even though, with a sinking heart, I recognize that life for him can never be the same again. A sad day, worse if creative expression can no longer be free &open.
