BBC documentary on PM Modi 'badly researched', doesn't represent UK govt's view: British MP

New Delhi: BBC documentary on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi “is a hatchet job. The lawmaker further said the broadcaster “does not represent views of the British government.” Speaking to News18, Blackman said the two episode docu-series also “sought to demonstrate that the Indian judicial system could not be trusted and I am afraid that the judicial system in India is based on the British system, completely separate from politics and completely independent.” BBC documentary gave ‘very poor picture of India’ Bob said that the BBC documentary tried to represent India as being a “non-secular country”, “but as we know, India embraces all religions and people from all backgrounds. Therefore, the documentary gave a very poor picture of India which is completely unjustified in my spirits.” Don’t Miss: Pack of lies: BBC’s hitjob on PM Modi relies on Jack Straw’s words, but he’s known to have been a liar BBC documentary - India: The Modi Question - reportedly chronicles events that transpired during the 2002 Gujarat riots when Narendra Modi was the chief minister.
