Media says MF Husain is no longer Indian citizen

MF Husain was first vilified in 1996 in a Hindi journal over his depiction of Indian deities made in the 1970s on the charge that they hurt  " Hindu sentiments". His exhibitions were targeted, his work vandalized and he faced death threats too. With successive governments in India  quiet on this issue- mainly because they don't want to deal with this hot potato- Husain lived in exile in Dubai & London for almost 13 years. Aged 95 now, he reportedly faces almost 900 cases. On 24th The Hindu reported  that Husain "has been conferred Qatar nationality". The report also says Mr. Husain did not apply for the nationality of that country. As India doesn't allow duel citizenship, if  Mr. Husain really accepted Qatar's citizenship, he would no longer be an Indian citizen.
