over BBC documentary on PM Modi | Watch
India maintained that "there is an agenda" behind the BBC's documentary on PM Modi which mentions the communal riots of Gujarat.
By LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION Web Desk: Even as India today said that the recently broadcast BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning his leadership during the 2002 Gujarat riots, was "propaganda", a Pak-origin British MP brought the topic up in the UK parliament only to be shot down by PM Rishi Sunak.
“He (PM Modi) was, in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s own words, directly responsible for this violence. Given that hundreds were brutally killed and that families across India and the world, including here in the UK, are still without justice, does the prime minister agree with his diplomats in the foreign office that Modi was directly responsible and what more does the foreign office know of his involvement in this grave act of ethnic cleansing?” MP Imran Hussain asked.
To this, Sunak retorted: “Mr Speaker, the UK government’s position on this has been clear and long standing and hasn’t changed. Of course, we don’t tolerate persecution anywhere, but I am not sure I agree at all with the characterization the honorable gentleman has put forward.”

Earlier in the day, the foreign ministry spokesperson said that “there is an agenda behind it (the film)”.
PM Narendra Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat when communal riots erupted.
