Salman Rushdie Pulls Through Brutal Attack With 'Humour Intact' as US Hails His 'Truth & Courage'

News 18  

Salman Rushdie is pulling through and has his feisty and defiant sense of humour intact despite battling severe, life-changing injuries, his son and former wife Padma Lakshmi said on Sunday, two days after the Mumbai-born author was stabbed in what US authorities described as a “targeted, preplanned” attack. Rushdie, who faced Islamist death threats for years after writing “The Satanic Verses”, was stabbed by a 24-year-old New Jersey resident identified as Hadi Matar, the US national of Lebanese origin, on stage on Friday while he was being introduced at a literary event of the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York. “The Secretary-General was appalled to learn of the attack on renowned novelist Salman Rushdie,” a statement issued on Friday by his spokesperson said. “In court, prosecutors said that the attack on the author was premeditated and targeted,” the report said, adding that Matar travelled by bus to the “intellectual retreat in western New York and purchased a pass that allowed him to attend” the talk “Rushdie was to give on Friday morning”.
