=== Suicide === In another 2019 tweet just days after [[V. G. Siddhartha|V.G. Siddhartha's]] suicide, Taslima said,<blockquote>So many painless ways to commit suicide. why hang yourself, drown yourself, or cut your wrist, why jump from the high rise building or the bridge, or swallow pesticide, or poison or why jump in front of an oncoming train? Take the lethal doses of morphine and die peacefully.</blockquote>This was met with plenty of criticisms with critics calling the tweet irresponsible, insensitive and promotion of suicide. Responding to the criticisms she defended the tweet by saying,<blockquote>I am not encouraging people to die. I am asking people who decided to commit suicide or who is determined to commit suicide, to get a peaceful way to do it. It is a positive tweet.<ref>{{Cite news |date=August 2, 2019 |title=Twitterati slam Taslima Nasreen for urging people to choose a 'peaceful' method of suicide, days after VG Siddhartha's death |url=https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/other/taslima-nasreen-urges-people-to-choose-a-peaceful-method-of-suicide-days-after-vg-siddharthas-death/articleshow/70495273.cms |access-date=2025-03-08 |newspaper=Mumbai Mirror |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-08-02 |title=Taslima Nasreen Suggests 'Easy Way to Commit Suicide', Gets Heavily Trolled on Twitter |url=https://www.latestly.com/social-viral/taslima-nasreen-suggests-easy-way-to-commit-suicide-gets-heavily-trolled-on-twitter-1065807.html |access-date=2025-03-08 |website=LatestLY |language=en}}</ref></blockquote>
