Kindly recall that there have been spate of protests after the derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed hurting the sentiments of the minority community by the two BJP leaders who’ve been expelled from the primary membership of the party especially after strong condemnation from muslim foreign countries of middle East like Qatar etc. The envoys of middle East countries like Qatar etc had summoned the ambassador of India and registered their strong condemnation and total rejection of the adverse comments of BJP leaders against the Prophet handing him a detailed note registering their protests. There are even threats from an extremist organisation Al Qaida.
Massive protests are still going on in various parts of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Telengana, ( Hydrabad) Mumbai, Jharkhand etc with riots erupted in Kanpur and the UP police dealing the perpetrators of violence with a heavy hand.

It may be recalled that a Swedish writer, feminist, physician and an activist born 25 th August 1962, is known as a criticism of religion. She is in exile since 1994 having shifted to India in 2004 after living America and Europe for a decade or so.
She is currently living in New Delhi on X Visa or Multiple entry since 2004 after she was banished from the country in 2004.
According to Wikipedia after fleeing Bangladesh in 1994, Nasrin spent the next ten years in exile in Sweden, Germany, France and the US. She returned to the East and relocated to Kolkata, India, in 2004, where she lived until 2007. After she was physically attacked by opposers in Hyderabad, she was forced to live under house arrest in Kolkata, and finally, she was made to leave West Bengal on 22 November 2007. She was then forced to live under house arrest in Delhi for 3 months. She had no other alternative but to leave India in 2008. She was not allowed to live in India for a while, but ultimately Nasrin, determined to live in the subcontinent, moved to India from the US.
Leaving Bangladesh towards the end of 1994, Nasrin lived in exile in Western Europe and North America for ten years. Her Bangladeshi passport had been revoked; she was granted citizenship by the Swedish government and took refuge in Germany. She allegedly had to wait for six years (1994–1999) to get a visa to visit India. In 1998 she wrote Meyebela, My Bengali Girlhood, her biographical account from birth to adolescence. She never got a Bangladeshi passport to return to the country when her mother, and later her father, were on their death beds.
