Banning BBC documentary on Modi shows govt not in its right senses: Caravan Editor Hartosh Singh Bal

The Indian Union government has invoked its emergency powers to direct social media platforms YouTube and Twitter to remove links to the BBC documentary that revisited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots. The Caravan has obtained a copy of an inquiry conducted by the government of the United Kingdom into the 2002 Gujarat violence, which was cited in a recent BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, titled India: The Modi Question. The report states that the violence was “planned, possibly in advance” by Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organisation. The report notes: “The attack on the train at Godhra on 27 February provided the pretext. If it had not occurred, another one would have been found.”
