BBC Documentary: The Government of India has banned the BBC documentary on the Gujarat riots. Despite this, those who are trying to create idols in the country are keeping an eye on it. Look at Mohtaj Pakistan for two pieces of bread, which is showing a lot of interest in this documentary. The BBC claims that the series explores various aspects of the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of the state during the Gujarat riots. When a Pakistani journalist asked America a question, he got such an answer that he had to be disappointed.

A US State Department spokesman has said the US is not aware of the BBC documentary, but is fully aware of the shared "democratic values" that link Washington and New Delhi. The BBC has produced a new two-part series titled 'India: The Modi Question'. The BBC claims that the series explores various aspects of the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of the state during the Gujarat riots. US State Department spokesman Ned Price said at a press conference here on Monday that the US has an "extraordinarily deep partnership" with New Delhi based on the values that are rooted in the democracies of the US and India.

America replied to Pakistan

When a Pakistani journalist asked Price about the BBC documentary, he said, "I don't know about the (BBC) documentary you are talking about (on the 2002 Gujarat riots). I am acutely aware of the shared values that connect the United States and India as two thriving and vibrant democracies. Price said there are many elements that strengthen Washington's global strategic partnership with New Delhi, including political, economic and people-to-people ties. “I would say broadly that there are several elements that underpin the global strategic partnership with our Indian partners. (the two countries) have close political and economic ties. The relationship between the people of America and India is extraordinarily deep.

India has rejected the documentary

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has dismissed the two-part documentary as 'a piece of propaganda' and said it clearly reflected bias, lack of objectivity and a colonial mindset. Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said on this BBC documentary that it is a part of disinformation to push a "false narrative". Bagchi had said, “Let me make this point clear. We believe this is part of disinformation, an attempt to push a particular 'false narrative'. It clearly shows bias, lack of objectivity and a colonial mindset.” India issued instructions on January 21 to block several YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the BBC documentary 'India: The Modi Question' Huh. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last week defended Prime Minister Modi over the controversial BBC documentary, saying that he "does not agree with the characterisation" of Prime Minister Modi.
