Indian Supreme Court has dismissed a public interest litigation seeking a complete ban on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and BBC India from operating from Indian territory.
The litigation was filed in the wake of airing the documentary titled, 'India: The Modi Question' relating to the 2002 Gujarat riots.
UK's British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) two-part series attacking PM Modi's tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister during the Gujarat riots of 2002 sparked outrage and was removed from select platforms.
As per the sources, on 21 January, the centre issued directions for blocking multiple YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the controversial BBC documentary.
