The Union government raised many eyeballs by banning the controversial documentary made by BBC on the Gujarat riots. The documentary sent shocking waves in India and other nations too. The United States and the United Kingdom gave a diplomatic answer and said that they are with India on this.
The opposition parties got a big opportunity to target the Bharatiya Janata Party on this. The Union government banned the documentary in India. A few students and individuals were arrested for screening the documentary. The opposition parties and activists want the ban on the documentary to be lifted.
Amid this, the Indian government faced a big blow as the petition filed in the Supreme Court was filed. The PIL filed by Hindu Sena says that the documentary is false and there is a conspiracy against the global rise of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The petition was heard by the Supreme Court today.
But the Supreme Court dismissed the petition and called it completely misconceived. The court asked how a court can ban the documentary. The Judge asked where the merit is in it and asked how the petition can be urged.
It is a completely misconceived one. How can you even argue this? It is completely misconceived. How can you ask court to ban the BBC/" the Judge said while quashing the PIL.
What should be seen as a big blow in this is that the Supreme Court found fault with the decision to ban the documentary. Banning is a wrong decision, the judge is said to have said during the arguments.
The 'India: The Modi Question' documentary is made by BBC on the Gujarat riots and raises doubt that Narendra Modi who was the then Chief Minister of Gujarat supported the attacks on Muslims and they still fear him.
