Around 50 people from the Indian community were seen chanting slogans and marching against the BBC documentary at Fremont in the San Francisco Bay area of California.
The protestors were rejecting BBC’s “sinister and baised” documentary and were chanting slogans calling BBC “racist.”
One of the banner read, “BBC is a Bogus Broadcasting Corporation.”
How has the Indian government reacted to the documentary?
The Narendra Modi-led government banned the documentary that tries to dig up the buried memory of Gujarat 2002 riots, with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) directing YouTube and Twitter to take down links sharing it.
It issued an order under the emergency provisions of the Information Technology Rules, 2021. It has alleged that the documentary aims at “sowing divisions among various communities, and making unsubstantiated allegations regarding actions of foreign governments in India”.
The government has also called it a “propaganda piece that lacks objectivity and reflects a colonial mindset”.
