=== Burqa === When [[Sri Lanka]] banned the [[burqa]] in 2019, Nasrin took to Twitter to show her support for the decision. She described the burqa as a 'mobile prison,' a comment which was reported on by journalists.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 April 2019 |title=Taslima Nasreen Calls 'Burqa Ban' A Good Decision After Sri Lanka Bans All Face Coverings |url=https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/social-relevance/burqa-ban-in-sri-lanka-taslima-nasreen-calls-burqa-ban-a-good-decision-after-sri-lanka-bans-all-kinds-of-face-coverings-366331.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230411111656/https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/social-relevance/burqa-ban-in-sri-lanka-taslima-nasreen-calls-burqa-ban-a-good-decision-after-sri-lanka-bans-all-kinds-of-face-coverings-366331.html |archive-date=11 April 2023 |access-date=2 June 2024 |website=indiatimes.com}}</ref> In another 2020 tweet about [[A. R. Rahman|A. R. Rahman's]] daughter Khatija Rahman wearing [[Burqa|burqas]] Taslima said,<blockquote>I absolutely love [[A. R. Rahman|A. R. Rahman's]] music. But whenever i see his dear daughter, i feel suffocated. It is really depressing to learn that even educated women in a cultural family can get brainwashed very easily!</blockquote>Khatija Rahman replied to this tweet in an Instagram post by saying,<blockquote>I'm sorry you feel suffocated by my attire. Please get some fresh air, cause I don't feel suffocated rather I'm proud and empowered for what I stand for. I suggest you google up what true feminism means because it isn't bashing other women down nor bringing their fathers into the issue. I also don't recall sending my photos to you for your perusal.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Taslima Nasreen-AR Rahman's daughter in war of words over burqa tweet |url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/around-the-web/201580/taslima-nasreen-ar-rahman%E2%80%99s-daughter-in-war-of |access-date=2025-03-08 |website=Dhaka Tribune |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2020-02-17 |title=Taslima Nasreen, AR Rahman's daughter spar over burqa |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/taslima-nasreen-ar-rahmans-daughter-spar-over-burqa/articleshow/74166452.cms |access-date=2025-03-08 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2020-02-17 |title=A.R.
