New Delhi: A fresh twist was added to the controversial BBC documentary, with Mahesh Jethmalani alleging a Chinese link to the docuseries doubting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
“This is a cash-for-propaganda deal between BBC & Huawei,” said BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Jethmalani.
“Why is BBC so anti-India? Because it needs money desperately enough to take it from Chinese state-linked Huawei (see link) and pursue the latter’s agenda (BBC a fellow traveller, Comrade Jairam?) It’s a simple cash-for-propaganda deal. BBC is up for sale,” Jethmalani tweeted.
“Apart from publishing a truncated map of India w/o J&K until 2021 when it apologised to the Indian govt & corrected the map, BBC has a long history of spreading disinformation against India. The anti-PM documentary is a continuation of this malafide trend,” the BJP leader wrote in a separate tweet.
The BJP MP threw an open challenge to BBC.
“I dare the BBC to come out & challenge its relations with the Chinese. I’ll write to the govt for banning BBC in India. BBC is using Chinese money for its propaganda in former colonies,” Jethmalani added.
The Opposition has been criticising the Central government for banning the BBC documentary.
There have been protests outside BBC’s Delhi office with right-wing organisations demanding that BBC be banned in India.
