Exiled author from Bangladesh, Taslima Nasrin, is scheduled to visit Kolkata for the first time in 19 years. She is set to participate in a literary event at Rabindra Sadan on August 1. West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya commented on the development, stating, "I had told...government to bring Taslima...to Bengal. Why would the voice of Taslima...be suppressed?" It is worth noting that Nasrin was compelled to depart from Kolkata in November 2007 due to intense protests.
