Over 500 scientists and academics denounce ‘censorship’ of BBC documentary on PM Modi

The Hindu  

A group of over 500 Indian scientists and academics has expressed dismay at the “censorship” of the BBC documentary India: the Modi Question, stating that it violated the rights of Indians to access and discuss important information about their society and government. Noting that university administrations across the country had attempted to prevent the screening of the documentary, they said the move violated the principles of “academic freedom”. In this role, he was responsible for spreading falsehoods about ‘Iraqi weapons of mass destruction’, which were dutifully repeated by the BBC and used to justify the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people,” said the statement. The signatories encouraged viewers of the documentary to “supplement their information with the voluminous and reliable material produced by Indian scholars and activists, documenting both the horrific events of 2002 and the appalling situation faced by minorities in the country today”.
