BBC documentary on Narendra Modi is a 'propaganda': British MP
New Delhi: A British MP has called the British Broadcasting Corporation or BBC's documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots as "propaganda" and a "disgraceful piece of shoddy journalism".
He said the documentary should not have been released.
British MP from Harrow East Bob Blackman told ANI: "BBC does not represent views of the British government and the documentary is a hatchet job."
Close on the heels of a ban on a BBC documentary on the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 Gujarat riots, the national broadcaster of the UK is in news again in India on Tuesday.
The Income Tax officials conducted surveys at the BBC's Delhi and Mumbai offices during the day and confiscated phones and laptops, media reports said.
The surveys were conducted days after a controversy erupted over a BBC documentary series criticizing the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was earlier the chief minister of Gujarat, during the 2002 Gujarat sectarian riots.
