BJP warns, BBC will not be forgiven for broacasting Nirbhaya docu
March 05, 2015
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi of the BJP warns, "The channel that broadcast the Nirbhaya documentary will not be forgiven."
Unlikely that the BBC would be quaking in its shoes.
In fact, the BBC brought forward the telecast of the documentary 'India's Daughter,' from Sunday to last night. The documentary was broadcast in the UK and other
countries.
The documentary by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin was to have aired in
several countries, including India, on March 8 which is International
Women's Day. But a statement from the BBC said given the "intense level
of interest" they brought the transmission forward.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday that
the government, which has procured a court order banning the screening
of the film in India, would try and prevent its telecast in other
countries too.
He said the Ministry of External Affairs and the
Information and Broadcasting Ministry had been asked to ensure the film
was not broadcast on any platform anywhere in the world.
