PM Modi's propaganda in BBC documentary: Ministry of External Affairs told propaganda against India, the British PM said - does not agree with the documentary

The Government of India has termed BBC's documentary on the Gujarat riots as propaganda against Prime Minister Modi and the country. Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said in a media briefing on Thursday that we do not know what is the agenda behind the documentary, but it is not fair. This is propaganda against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Bagchi said- This documentary is an attempt to run a narrative of a special kind of propaganda against India. It is seen in the documentary that the people and organizations associated with it have a special kind of thinking because there is no fact in it. It reflects the colonial mindset. We don't know what is the agenda behind this.
The British PM also protested On the other hand, this matter was also discussed in the British Parliament on a BBC documentary. Pakistani-origin MP Imran Hussain said in the British Parliament that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was directly responsible for the riots in Gujarat. Still, the victims of the riots have not got justice. He questioned British PM Rishi Sunak - what does he have to say on Modi's role in the riots?
On this, Sunak said - I do not agree with the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been shown in the BBC documentary. He said- The position of the UK government is clear. We do not tolerate any violence happening in the world, but I do not agree with the image of PM Modi presented in the documentary.
The BBC released the first episode of The Modi Question documentary on YouTube on 17 January. The second episode was to release on January 24. Even before this, the central government removed the first episode from YouTube. It was written in the description of the first episode that this documentary looks at the tension between India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India's Muslim minority. Investigates claims of Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Let us tell you that the committee constituted on the instructions of the Supreme Court to investigate the Gujarat riots had given a clean chit to Narendra Modi.
UK MP Lord Rami Ranger tweeted on January 18 about the BBC documentary. He told BBC that you have hurt the sentiments of more than 100 crore people of India. The sentiments of a democratically elected Prime Minister, the Indian Police and the Indian Judiciary have been hurt. We condemn the riots in Gujarat, but also criticize your biased reporting.
The SIT was constituted by the Supreme Court regarding the 2002 riots in Gujarat. The committee did not find the hand of Narendra Modi in the riots. The SIT had said that no evidence was found against Modi. In June 2022, the Supreme Court accepted the clean chit given to the PM by the SIT as correct.
