Centre Blocks Tweets Sharing BBC Documentary Critical Of PM Mod

India orders Twitter and YouTube to take down BBC documentary about Modi!
India: The Modi Question, the new BBC documentary criticises the Indian PM’s approach toward Muslims.
And obviously, it has left India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fuming.
India instructed Twitter to delete more than 50 tweets regarding the documentary, sources claim.
Trinamool Congress MP, Derek O’Brien is one of the opposition figures whose tweet about the documentary was deleted by Twitter.
“Censorship. Twitter has taken down my tweet about the BBC documentary. It received hundreds of thousands of views. The one-hour BBC documentary exposes how PM hates minorities,” O’Brien said in a tweet following the development.

This is not a good look for India in the year it is hosting the G20 summit hailing India as the mother of democracy. The Indian government has asked to remove the BBC documentary critical of Prime Minister Modi from all platforms including twitter, youtube etc pic.twitter.com/UVnDgY9y1y

India doesn’t have “free speech” it’s whatever govt deems fit. Why do you think most internet shutdowns and political takedowns are happening in India with impunity?

Such cowards. If Modi did nothing wrong, if people voted him twice and no matter what 'aayega toh modi hi' for 50 years, then why is govt scared of some random documentary by anti-India forces which nobody will see anyway. This is toh like chor ke daari mein tinka.

#BBCDocumentary
A documentary available on torrent can be accessed very easily. Banning it won't help much. An international organization @BBC don't have any right to interfere in India's past and disturb its present peace. pic.twitter.com/QVOwzStMuY— Sarthak Mehta (@mehta_gii) January 21, 2023
