Delhi HC summons BBC over defamation suit stating its banned documentary cast slur on India’s reputation

Op India  

On Monday, the Delhi High Court summoned the British Broadcasting Corporation in response to a defamation lawsuit lodged by an NGO that claimed that the BBC’s documentary, ‘India: The Modi Question’ defamed India, its judiciary, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the complaint, BBC is the local operating office, and BBC has published the two-part documentary “India: The Modi Question.” Senior attorney Harish Salve, who is representing the NGO, stated that the BBC is being sued for defamation because of a program that ‘defamed’ India and its whole system, including the court. It is worth noting that recently, the Delhi court issued summons to BBC, Wikimedia Foundation, and Internet Archive after a defamation suit was filed by Jharkhand BJP leader Binay Kumar Singh over the BBC’s controversial documentary on PM Modi. Singh, who is also associated with RSS and VHP, had filed a defamation suit against the BBC, Wikimedia Foundation, and Internet Archive over the documentary ‘India: The Modi Question’ aired by BBC in January this year.
