Risingbd Desk: Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen`s visa was extended by a year on Friday, media reported.
"Taslima Nasreen`s visa has been extended for one more year from the very date it was due to expire," a ministry official of India said.
Exiled from Bangladesh in 1994 for "hurting religious sentiments" with her novel `Lajja`, Nasreen took refuge in Kolkata in 2004. Since then, she has been getting Indian visa on a continuous basis.
She now stays in a posh South Delhi locality.
On many occasions in the past, the controversial Bangladeshi writer had expressed her desire to live in India permanently, especially in Kolkata.
