India has slammed a BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, dismissing it as 'propaganda,' but the corporation is sticking to its guns.
A series of controversial policies – the removal of Kashmir’s special status guaranteed under Article 370 of the Indian constitution and a citizenship law that many said treated Muslims unfairly – has been accompanied by reports of violent attacks on Muslims by Hindus,” according to the BBC episode description. The second part of the documentary, which is due to broadcast on Jan. This has been the source of considerable reporting and interest both in India and across the world in recent years.” A wide range of voices, witnesses and experts were approached, and we have featured a range of opinions – this includes responses from people in the BJP [India’s ruling party]. “If anything, this film or documentary is a reflection on the agency and individuals that are peddling this narrative again.

Documentary shows findings of a UK inquiry into the 2002 deadly riots, which reveals PM Modi failed to stop violence.
The systematic, state-sponsored discrimination against Muslims includes laws that ban the hijab, a headscarf worn by many Muslim women, in certain parts of the country. Modi joined the RSS at a young age in his home state of Gujarat. “That was a particularly egregious example.” And they produced a very thorough report,” he added. Terming the BBC documentary a “propaganda piece” meant to push a “discredited narrative”, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said a “bias”, “lack of objectivity”, and “continuing colonial mindset” is “blatantly visible” in it. The British inquiry report showcased in the documentary refers to the events as a “systematic campaign of violence” which has “all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing”, and placed direct responsibility on Modi.

The BBC added, “A wide range of voices, witnesses and experts were approached, and we have featured a range of opinions – this includes responses from people in the BJP. In UK’s House of Commons, when asked about the documentary by Pakistan-origin MP Imran Hussain, Sunak said: “The UK government’s position on this has been clear and long-standing and hasn’t changed. “Whether they took up [the deaths] in 2002, I do not have an idea,” he said. If anything, this film or documentary is a reflection on the agency and individuals that are peddling this narrative again.” BBC has described the two-part documentary as a look at the “troubled relationship” between the Indian government and the Muslim minority following Modi’s re-election in 2019. Responding to a question about the documentary at the weekly media briefing, external affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi noted the film has not been screened in India and is not legally available on social media or streaming platforms.
It reveals a secret British foreign office report that found Narendra Modi culpable in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
The film signs off with the comment: “History is being rewritten,” in reference to the present circumstances in India. While Modi was in the UK, an application in a London court for a warrant of arrest against him failed narrowly. He wrote, “The external affairs minister (Yashwant Sinha) had gone to Prime Minister Vajpayee, who had concurred that the visit was undesirable and must be aborted.” But apparently because of pressure from the Sangh Parivar, it went ahead. That was how to handle the media.” It is not required to run the impending broadcast of the film past the British foreign office—which would most certainly have objected to the idea. These were very serious claims; that Chief Minister Modi played a pretty active part in pulling back the police and in tacitly encouraging the Hindu extremists. While the film is mostly based on compelling archival footage and interviews, seen alongside the foreign office report, the portrayal of Modi is that of a chilling communalist. In 2015, he was a member of a panel established to review the Act. The BBC, however, also admits in the show that “police contacts deny this meeting happened”. Sreekumar, head of police intelligence in Gujarat, and Sanjiv Bhatt, another police officer, had maintained that Modi indeed imposed the diktat, witnesses for the Chief Minister countered that neither Sreekumar nor Bhatt was present at the concerned meeting. The British government is presently engaged in delicate negotiations with its Indian counterpart to arrive at an ambitious trade treaty. The targeted destruction of all Muslim businesses in Hindu and mixed Hindu-Muslim areas.”

दरअसल, ब्रिटेन की एक संस्था बीबीसी ने साल 2002 के गुजरात दंगों के दौरान गुजरात के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में नरेंद्र मोदी के कार्यकाल पर पर निशाना साधते हुए 2 पार्ट्स में एक सीरीज दिखाई थी. सुनक ने अपनी बात रखते हुए कहा कि इस मामले पर यूके सरकार की स्थिति स्पष्ट है, जो स्टैंड लंबे समय से है वह बदला नहीं है. ब्रिटिश पीएम ऋषि सुनक ने भारतीय पीएम मोदी के समर्थन में बोलते हुए अपनी संसद में कहा कि वो इस डॉक्यूमेंट्री में उनके कैरेक्टरराइजेशन से सहमत नहीं हैं.
