Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen's visa was extended by an year on Friday, a home ministry official said.

"Taslima Nasreen's visa has been extended for one more year from the very date it was due to expire," a ministry official told IANS.

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.
