Goa Assembly resolution calls for action against BBC documentary on PM Modi

Amid a heated debate, the Goa legislative assembly on Friday passed a private member resolution moved by a ruling BJP MLA urging the House “to take strict action against the whimsical findings shown in the BBC documentary” slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The two-part documentary India: The Modi Question, which the BJP has claimed was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was banned by the central government in January this year.

“This BBC documentary, with maligned intentions misrepresenting the events of 2002, is a malicious and low-level attempt to tarnish India’s global image internationally. India is a democratic country, and freedom of expression is at the core of its Constitution.
