Delhi High Court issues fresh notice to BBC over defamatory documentary on Modi

The Delhi High Court on Monday issued fresh notice to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on a plea by an NGO seeking damages, claiming its documentary "India: The Modi Question" casts a slur on the country's reputation and makes false and defamatory imputations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian judiciary.

Watching #TheModiQuestion - feeling very grateful that #BBC, Indian journalists and courageous eyewitnesses have brought to light this nationalist violence against the Muslim minority. There have been BJP reprisals. In Britain there are attempts to import the bigotry, so we must learn, be careful, be sensitive. We certainly have a jihadi problem and it certainly isn't a Muslim problem. We certainly have a Hindu nationalism problem and it certainly isn't a Hindu problem.

The thin skin of the #NaMo government & its abuse of authoritarian power is really…something 🤦🏽‍♂️:

The police raids in #India against offices of the #BBC clearly serve to intimidate #media critical of PM #Modi.
These wannabe-authoritarian antics should absolutely be condemned by everyone cherishing #mediafreedom.

India threatens to go down a very dark path under the leadership of Modi and the #BJP. #TheModiQuestion
