A new British TV documentary shines light on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s alleged role in Gujarat pogrom, riling up his support base in India and abroad
called “India: The Modi Question” that puts under scrutiny Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s approach towards India’s Muslim population has fuelled controversy, sparking backlash from twitter users of Indian origin.
Modi’s term in Gujarat was tarnished by the 2002 Gujarat riots which were triggered when a train carrying Hindu pilgrims was burnt, with 59 people reported dead and the blame cast on Muslims. Modi’s long debated role in the riots, with some accusing the then-chief minister of holding direct responsibility to the point of effectively endorsing the bloodshed, became the focus of the BBC series’ first episode.
The series aims to “portray Modi as intolerant who treats Muslims poorly. This is for BBC's domestic consumption in the UK as the British are sealing a trade deal with India,” The Times of India“Domestically, this should be viewed as a direct assault on the Tory party and on Rishi Sunak by the Left-leaning liberal intelligentsia in the UK. The BBC has been anti-India for decades but in recent years it has shifted to being anti-Modi and anti-Hindu,” he argued.
Narendra Modi has served as India’s prime minister since 2014, and is currently serving his second term after his reelection in 2019.
