New Delhi: Supreme Court advocate and social activist Vineet Jindal on Friday filed a complaint against British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) over a documentary on Narendra Modi which has raised questions about his leadership as Gujarat chief minister during the 2002 riots.
“The people of the country chose PM Modi. There is a constitutional government in the country and this act of BBC News is a conspiracy to incite Muslims against Hindus not just in India but in the world. Therefore, it can be dangerous and action should be taken against it,” Jindal wrote on Twitter.

Two decades ago, riots broke out after a train carrying Hindu pilgrims in Godhra was burnt. Over 1,000 people were killed, most of them Muslims.
The advocate said he filed the complaint — under sections 121,153,153A &B, 295,298, and 505 of IPC — against BBC for “attacking the integrity of the country.”
Jindal found the documentary to be a deliberate act to provoke Muslim community in India and rest of the world against Hindus.
