In the last year 2002 there were riots in Gujarat. Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of the state then. The BBC, the British government media, has released a 2-part documentary on the riots. The documentary titled “Questions for India-Modi” has negative comments about Prime Minister Modi. It is noteworthy that the central government has banned the publication of BBC’s documentary on social media and public places.
