The West Bengal Minority Council today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh not to extend the visa of controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, who has applied for one and immediately expel her from India.

The Council in a press release stated that it had written to the prime minister, Union Home minister Shivraj Patil, Foreign minister Natwar Singh as well as Congress president Sonia Gandhi seeking Taslima's expulsion.

It said that xerox copies from various books, including Dwikhondito had been sent to them 'to expose her true intentions and malicious propaganda against Islam and Muslims'.

Nasreen, whose visa expired last month, has applied for Indian citizenship on February 14 or a permanent residential visa in India.

The writer, has been in self-exile since 1994 after religious fundamentalists in Bangladesh charged her with blasphemy and issued death threats against her. (Agencies)
