Taslima Nasreen clarifies her tweets criticizing surrogacy; says, ‘They have nothing to do with Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas’ – Times of India

Referring to her one tweet that created a storm on the internet, she wrote, “My surrogacy tweets are about my different opinions on surrogacy. Nothing to do with Priyanka-Nick. I love the couple.”

Further clarifying, she added in her next post, “Ppl are abusing me for my comments on surrogacy.They claim it’s my stone-age idea to not rent wombs for making babies.I suggest to adopt homeless children&to not exploit/invade poor women’s body. Actually its a stone-age idea by any means to reproduce babies for following traits.”

The whole controversy around Taslima’s opinion on the concept of surrogacy began when she shared without mentioning anyone, “Surrogacy is possible because there are poor women. Rich people always want the existence of poverty in the society for their own interests. If you badly need to raise a child, adopt a homeless one. Children must inherit your traits—it is just a selfish narcissistic ego. How do those mothers feel when they get their readymade babies through surrogacy? Do they have the same feelings for the babies like the mothers who give birth to the babies?”.

The tweets have not gone down well with several netizens who slammed the activist for referring to babies as ‘ready-made’.Others simply called Taslima’s opinion outrageous and demanded an apology.
