Gujarat Assembly Passes Resolution Against BBC For Documentary On PM

The documentary claims to have probed certain aspects of the riots, which took place after the Godhra train burning incident when Prime Minister Modi was Gujarat's chief minister.

 The Gujarat Assembly on Friday passed a resolution requesting the Centre to take strict action against BBC for tarnishing the image and popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with its documentary on the 2002 riots in the state.

The controversial two-part series by the British Broadcasting Corporation titled 'India: The Modi Question' misrepresents the events of 2002 in a malicious and low-level attempt to tarnish India's image globally, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Vipul Patel said in the House while moving the resolution.

The documentary claims to have probed certain aspects of the riots, which took place after the Godhra train burning incident when Prime Minister Modi was Gujarat's chief minister.

The documentary was blocked in India soon after its release.
