Gujarat Assembly passes resolution against BBC documentary

Gujarat Assembly on March 10 passed a resolution requesting the Centre to take strict action against the BBC for tarnishing the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with its documentary on the 2002 Godhra riots. “PM Modi dedicated his entire life to the service of the nation, weaponised the instrument of development and gave a befitting reply to anti-national elements. He worked hard to put India on the global stage. The documentary was not just against PM Modi but against 135 crore citizens of the country,” said minister Harsh Sanghavi.
The BBC released the documentary film titled ‘India: The Modi Question,’ which features the Gujarat riots of 2002. The film caused controversy for alluding to the leadership of Modi as chief minister during the riots while disregarding the clean chit given by the Supreme Court.
