If family wants, govt offers help for MF Husain's burial in India

Government today said it is ready to extend all help for burial of MF Husain, who died in London, in India in case his family wants so.

"Government has offered all facilitation to the family of MF Husain in case they want to bury him in India", sources in the prime minister's office said.

Husain, who passed away in London early this morning, has been living outside the country for several years because of threats from some fundamentalists who have been upset with the character of his paintings.
