Taslima told PTI that the story of the serial, which was earlier scheduled to be broadcast from tonight on the newly-launched 'Aakash Aath' channel, is about a Hindu family settled in the city.
"There is not even the 'R' of religion in the story. No one has seen the serial. Then why are they opposing it? The story is about three sisters and their fight against social evils directed against them," the 51-year-old feminist author said from Delhi.
Abdul Aziz of Milli Ittehad Parishad told PTI that they had written to the producers asking them to withdraw Taslima's name and reference from the serial and withdraw scenes which might create a controversy.
"We have been told that there are some scenes in the serial which might hurt our sentiments. Through this serial she is trying to come back to Kolkata. Therefore we have opposed this," Aziz said.
