BBC film: SC hearing today

Friday, 03 February 2023 | PTI | New Delhi

The Supreme Court asked petitioners to mention again on Friday for urgent listing of their plea seeking a complete ban on the British Broadcasting Corporation in India for its controversial documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots.

A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud told the lawyer appearing for the petitioner to mention the matter on Friday. The top court was hearing a plea filed by Vishnu Gupta, president of Hindu Sena, and Beerendra Kumar Singh, a farmer, which has also sought investigation against BBC and its employees.

Alleging that BBC has been biased against India and Indian Government, the plea said the documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi is result of deep conspiracy against global rise of India and its Prime Minister.

The plea has also sought quashing of “all orders directly or indirectly censoring” the information including those shared on social media.
