BJP warns, BBC will not be forgiven for broacasting Nirbhaya docu

March 05, 2015 11:31

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.
