India has blocked the airing of a BBC documentary which questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership during the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying that even sharing of any clips via social media is barred.

Directions to block the clips from being shared have been issued using emergency powers available to the government under the country's information technology rules, said Kanchan Gupta, an adviser to the government, on his Twitter handle on Saturday.

The government has issued orders to Twitter to block over 50 tweets linking to the video of the documentary and YouTube has been instructed to block any uploads of the video, Gupta said. Both YouTube and Twitter have complied with the directions, he added.

bye bye democracy

Just stupid criminal as PM

Our PM is coward.

Before pri minister modi legally changes his name to joewinder bidentri

I wonder if the BBC has ever had the courage to tell the truth about one of Britain’s most cherished icons winstonchurchill Largely responsible for the Bengal famine, causing starvation and death of millions. The first person to drop chemical bombs on those ‘tribals’

Can the truth be blocked

So now more people will watch it. Harder you hide faster its spreading

India blocks fake BBC documentary on PM Modi from airing in India

poor dictator got offended what a baby

elonmusk will twitter take down the links as demanded by the Indian government or is twitter now free to support free speech?

They elected him...

He's getting more and more dictatorial. Recently he enacted laws that hinder faith conversions.

Good. BBC was doing regime change propaganda based on discredited statements. In fact BBC should be removed from India.

Gee, now wy would they do that?

Simple fact: 30 years ago Indian person had twice higher average salary than Chinese person, now Chinese person have 3 times salary of average Indian person. Here is your Modi, enjoy 😉

Democracy without a free press is not democracy.

Have they done a documentary on British induced famine in India ?

Fake strongmen with fragile egos and no balls - it's a thing. Trump Modi Putin Xi

This documentary is inspired by a conservative ideology.

Just like Tik Tok, but Tik Tok is far better than BBC.

LOL of course not. Pathetic.

its probably a biased hit piece, typical operating procedure for BBC

India should block BCC as well

Totally not sketchy at all

No. It was blocked by Congress to prevent BJP from winning 2024.

Feku Modi is a coward. He has no balls to face the media, or face the truth. All he can do is control the news. This only proves the legitimacy of the BBC documentary. fekuModi BBCdocumentry ModiIsAKiller

Ignore the outdated BBC. They always show negative areas. They never show rich heritage, culture, tradition, richness, and latest developments in India. Just like a cancer cell

Mother of democracy?

The bbc documentary is a threat to the national security of india as it peddles hate

Any documentary on political leaders, Hindu's or Muslim's should not be banned by the government and they should have no authority to do so. We must act to change our laws!

Modi is a racist

Simple fact: 30 years ago Indian person had twice higher average salary than Chinese person, now Chinese person have 3 times salary of average Indian person. Here is your Modi, enjoy 😉

We have faith in our Apex Court. SaveBBC from the champion's of divide & rule formula. We love India We love Indian And we don't have faith in any sort of slaughter

Whatta!!!!

The Western hypocrites can't digest the fact that a united India is the future so they will play thier dirty game .BBC should focus on their country 's contracting GDP and unstable economy rather than ranting about India.

Also related all tweets and videos from social media.

Means: it stands true?!

BBCWorld make documentary on Famines you created in INDIA..

BBCWorld Make documentary on Jalianwala Bagh massacre..

BBCWorld It is equally important to make a documentary on Godhra train blast also... Keep your colonial propaganda in your own country..

HiHyderabad He got feared that’s why he blocked it

Meanwhile MinAungHlaing bombs India with Modi's help

What else he could do. The world knows modi is a terrorist

western media also blocked and censored indie documentaries on the vaccines and the 2020 elections. Report on that one please

Good move! Can’t show crap

Typical response to protect the bigot Modi

Modi can deny his role in the 2002 carnage but he can’t deny that he was in charge as CM. He is culpable. He can try to run from his past but he can’t outrun it. He can try his best to hide the truth. Manage headlines. His image will always be marked with a black spot.

Good. Spared from BS

I thought India was the “largest democracy” in the world?

BBCDocumentary more bans juicier it gets for viewers 😂

BBC should be blocked not just one of its documentary

We should soon be blocking BBC channel too

Cwd bjp 😂😂

I can imagine what kind of documentary is! Someone will try to manipulate the people!

bbc make documentry on this butcher 🤡 Britishes looted india by killing indian, remember the Bengal famine etc ... What Britishes did with Indians in past plz make documentry on this topic also 🤡

Just shame on BBC , BBC raise the question over the credibility of Indian judiciary, BBC has no right to interfere in India's internal matters, just focus on your own country its good for your betterment, BBC will destroy the relationship between india and UK in near future 🤡

Great decision well done India. We don't endorse hate and misinformation against our P.M. supreme court of INDIA has already given the verdict.

🤦‍♂️

Expose Hindus terrorism

India blocks BBC 'FAKE documentary' on PM Modi from airing in India

Should be banned. Now election year is coming foreign players will try such things so that Modi again has not come to power. Not only documentaries, the BBC should be banned from India.

All western & mainstream media should be censored now! They are just propaganda machine of collective west as we have seen in the on going crisis in Ukraine.

They dont like what they see in the mirror and think, the world will become blind as well.

BBC is doing something not even RahulGandhi would ask for. Why Age-old gossip, when Hindus themselves are suffering being majoritarian.

Western media runs propaganda machine

india can’t hide the facts. ModiDocumentaryRow modi destroyed india GujaratRiots GujaratRiots2002 hrw

Ha ha 😇😇😇

Why not ? bbc (bullshit broadcasting corporation)always has been a culprit in providing propaganda against democratically elected governments around the world, divide&rule policy , it used to be a respected news agency back in time and now losing its relevance,SHAMEONBBC

That is shameful. India controlling news...

Gud step

Because he can’t defend the truth

The givt also blocks tweets sharing the documentary critical of the leaders alleged qinvolvemnet in the riots.

Of course bbc is bulsh!t broadcasting service ! Which thinks Indians should watch their poop ! Imagine Britishers preaching about human rights 😂😂 but this is absolutely disgusting them questioning our Supreme Court decision ! no one disrespects our democracy and judiciary

For anyone interested

3wombats Adani owns Modi.

I guess it’s gonna be juicy

Yes, like the US, which has banned numerous books that should be taught in schools.

BBC considers war criminal WinstonChurchill God for crimes such as: 1) Mishandling of Gallipoli 2) Supporting killing of disabled kids 3) Causing India famine in 1943 killing 3 million 4) Fire bombing of Dresden.

And UK PM saying that Modi is honourable.... Ohh 😮 a butcher of gujrat is honourable

The biggest Democracy in the world is the biggest fraud narendramodi

BBC reminiscence of colonial past. We don't need this garbage. Wish govt bans this. They will never talk about Churchill's masscres, but will dare to influence an election that's just a year away. Btw with d British economy & influence in tatters, BBC may not last long anyways..

Hypocrisy at it’s peak. This is so called the PM of world’s largest democracy. Entire world should ask from him about the massive killings of muslims in gujrat, kashmir and in every indian state. BBCDocumentary BBC

BBC should make documentaries on British atrocities in their colonies.

Where can we watch this now?

It’s a canard in violation of Supreme Court judgement

and they say India is thelargest democracy in the world. India is an elected dictatorship.

Fake biggest democracy blocks a genuine documentary. Funny world

State owned and funded bbc had become a tabloid rag with agenda driven activists pretending to be journalists spreading fake propaganda on Modi and hindus/hindutva.

BBC has no other work. 2002 case was when Modi was a chief minister of Gujarat state. Congress was in power in India and had their candidate as a prime minister. Modi underwent so many trials and investigations and finally nothing was proven only in supreme court of India!

Un raised concern over Pakistan people for converting other religious people to Islam forcefully

England cannot launched a single satellite.and they are making propaganda video 😂😂.

Finally china didn’t supported Pakistan

Virgin move. Chad move would've been to block bbc altogether.
