Read our privacy policy Elon Musk has shrugged off responsibility for censorship of a BBC documentary examining prime minister Narendra Modi’s role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, after the social media giant received widespread criticism for complying with a directive from the Indian government. Govt doesn’t tell us what to watch.” The first part of the documentary, released last week by the BBC for its UK audiences, included a previously unpublished report from the UK Foreign Office that held Mr Modi “directly responsible” for the “climate of impunity” that enabled the Gujarat violence to take place. The second part of the documentary released on Tuesday “examines the track record of Narendra Modi’s government following his re-election in 2019,” according to the description on the BBC website. India’s foreign ministry last week called the documentary a “propaganda piece designed to push a particularly discredited narrative” that lacks objectivity and slammed it for “bias” and “a continuing colonial mindset.” The BBC in a statement said the documentary was “rigorously researched” and involved a wide range of voices and opinions.
