New Delhi: Center bans BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to this, the central government has ordered the social networking sites to delete documentary videos and comments. Twitter and YouTube companies have accepted this and are removing videos and recordings.
Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2002 when riots broke out. On the 17th, the British government media BBC released a documentary about this riot. The documentary, titled “India – Questions for Modi”, contains negative comments about Prime Minister Modi.
On the 18th, the central government banned the publication of BBC’s documentary film on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. In this context, comments related to the BBC documentary are being posted on social media. A link to the BBC documentary is also posted on social media. The central government has now banned such social media posts. Social media companies including Twitter and YouTube are removing videos and recordings following the government’s order. More than 50 posts have been deleted on Twitter alone.
Sources of the central government have said that the release of the BBC documentary on YouTube and other social media platforms has already been banned. Currently, comments related to the documentary are being posted on social media. These are meant to disrupt the integrity of the country.
Therefore, companies including YouTube and Twitter have been strictly ordered to remove comments related to the documentary film. We are also advised to remove links to the BBC documentary. Government sources said this.
Part 2 of the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Modi will be released on the 24th. There are calls for a ban on this. BBC, the British state media, does not need to publish documentary films about foreign leaders, including Prime Minister Modi. Moderates have criticized that it would be appropriate to publish documentary images of the leaders of their own country, including former British Prime Minister Vincent Churchill.
