Not familiar with BBC documentary, very familiar with shared values that connect US, India: US State Department

The US State Department spokesperson Ned Price, while addressing a question posed by a Pakistani journalist on the recently aired BBC documentary based on the 2002 Gujarat riots, said that the US was not familiar with it.

The documentary, titled ‘India: The Modi Question’, focuses on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his then state government’s response to the 2002 Gujarat riots. India had dubbed the documentary as a “propaganda piece” designed to push a particular “discredited narrative”.

Addressing a press briefing in Washington Monday, Ned Price told reporters that the US shares an “exceptionally deep partnership” with New Delhi based on values that are common to both the US and Indian democracies.
