New Delhi: The Indian government was appalled for showing the facts of the Muslim riots during Modi’s regime in its documentary film and started retaliating against the BBC.
According to the World News Agency, police officers and income tax officials searched the BBC offices in New Delhi and Mumbai. The policeman stood at the door and did not allow anyone else to come in or out.
On the other hand, the income tax officers inside the BBC kept scrutinizing the documents and during this time the employees could not do their normal work. BBC employees are still locked in their office.
On the other hand, in a statement issued by the management of the British broadcasting organization “BBC”, it is said that the office is “fully cooperating” with the authorities. We hope this situation will be resolved as soon as possible.
It should be noted that the search of the BBC offices in India has come at a time when the BBC in the UK had aired a documentary about the Muslim riots and atrocities on minorities during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure.
However, the Income Tax officials said that this action has nothing to do with the film related to the Prime Minister, but that the search was conducted as part of an investigation, but they did not say what that investigation was.
The Modi government released the documentary ‘India; Blocked the screening of ‘Da Modi Question’ in India and incited simple Hindus against the film.
