BBC documentary on PM Modi is conspiracy against India: Goa Governor Sreedharan Pillai
The HinduA BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots that has sparked controversy is a “conspiracy” against India, said Goa Governor P. S. Sreedharan Pillai on January 26. The “character assassination of the Prime Minister” amounts to an onslaught, insult and a malicious act against the country, said the Governor during his address after inspecting a Republic Day parade near Panaji. Governor Pillai said that the present controversy was “ill-motivated”, adding in the same breath that he was “not criticising Britain which is one of the friendly countries of India now”. Talking to reporters later, the Governor said that under the system of law followed by “us and the conventions”, an attack or character assassination of the Prime Minister would amount to an attack on the sovereignty of the country.
