“Some in India consider BBC over SC” Kiren Rijiju takes on “malicious campaign” on documentary series
“This BBC documentary, which claims to examine the so-called tension between Hindus and Muslims in India and rehashes the so-called controversial policies of Prime Minister Modi in that regard, is not only prejudicial but biased. Full of factual errors,” he said.
New Delhi: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday took note of the “malicious campaign” inside and outside India regarding a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying some people “consider the BBC above the Supreme Court”. of India”.
The Union Minister alleged that they “lower” the reputation and image of the country to any extent “to please their moral masters”. On Twitter, Rijiju said that the country’s minorities are moving forward positively.
“Minorities or for that matter every community in India is moving forward positively. India’s image cannot be tarnished by malicious campaigns carried out inside or outside India. Prime Minister @narendramodi ji’s voice is the voice of 1.4 billion Indians,” Rijiju tweeted.
“Some people in India are still unable to overcome the addiction of colonialism. They consider the BBC above the Supreme Court of India and degrade the reputation and image of the country to any extent to please their moral masters,” the minister added (roughly translated from Hindi).
He said there is no hope from these people whose “sole aim is to weaken India”.
“Anyway, no better hope from members of this Tukde Tukde gang whose only aim is to weaken India’s strength,” Rijiju tweeted.
Earlier, former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) chief Sanjeev Tripathi slammed UK’s British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for a documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it “prejudiced, biased and full of factual errors”.
He also said that the documentary should be condemned by all. Speaking to ANI, Tripathi questioned the BBC’s motive behind the documentary on PM Modi, which he said was ‘motivated’. He said that while the documentary featured the 2002 Gujarat riots and the earlier Godhra train burning incident, the Supreme Court had recently given a clean chit to Prime Minister Modi in the matter.
“This BBC documentary, which claims to examine the so-called tension between Hindus and Muslims in India and rehashes the so-called controversial policies of Prime Minister Modi in that regard, is not only prejudicial but biased. Full of factual errors,” he said.
Reacting strongly to the BBC documentary, over 300 prominent Indians, including retired judges, bureaucrats and armed forces veterans, signed a statement condemning the British national broadcaster for showing “absolute prejudice” against India and its leader.
