Opinion Poll: Should Sagarika Ghose be asked to leave India?

No, this is not a poser, this is a serious and sincere question. A lot of people hate Sagarika Ghose (for the record, we don't). There is a bonafide Sagarika Ghose hate group on Orkut. So, whether you are allowed to stay in the country becomes a matter of public opinion?

Yeah, yeah, we know. She is a citizen and Taslima is not. But since when did citizenship become an issue anyway? We have MPs whose citizenship is suspect. We also have ..... well, never mind.

You could argue that the opinion poll is merely an open minded discussion. Sorry, no dice. Would you have an opinion poll on the validity of female infanticide? How about Sati? Being a mainstream channel, CNN-IBN can not conduct an opinion poll which borders on contempt of the constitution, leave aside basic humanity and decorum. Taslima Nasreen (unlike millions of her fellow countrymen), is a legally permitted resident of India. You simply can not question her stay, till the time the Government voids her visa.

this nincompoopish woman, always, seems to be on the prowl for avenues/issues to highlight how stupid and mindless she can be.
Opinion poll is such a snobbish term for "sms campaigning and arm-chair support for the nation"
Sad tat leading media channels thrive on that, instead of getting into the fields and dirty their hands.I would not respect journalism or media if it sits in air-conditioned cubicles and puts one stupid mockery face on to discuss burning topics pan India, on a silly-pitch.

Can she discuss the lack coordnation between the state and the central on how to combat against Terrorism?people are dying everyday,they are living with fear every moment.can she think of this?
she may flee.
