India News, KOLKATA: Noted Indian writer Indira Goswami Wednesday supported exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen's plea for Indian citizenship.

"Taslima is a gutsy lady and she is in love with Bengal. She has the right to live in West Bengal as an Indian citizen," Goswami, a Jnanpith award winner, told reporters here.

"It will be nice if she is allowed to stay in this country," she said and criticised the ban imposed on Taslima's autobiographical book "Dwikhandita" by the West Bengal government for its alleged provocative contents.

"Right to _expression_ is a birth right," said the prominent Assamese intellectual who is in the news for her efforts to broker peace between the Indian government and the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA)
