Rahul Gandhi on BBC documentary "Truth always comes out"

Jammu: Rahul Gandhi criticized the Centre on Tuesday for the BBC documentary about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that banning the press cannot "suppress" the truth.

Rahul Gandhi made the remarks after the Centre banned the BBC documentary on PM Modi, describing it as a "propaganda piece" meant to promote a myth that has been discredited.

"The truth always surfaces. Gandhi asserted, "The truth cannot be suppressed by banning the press and using institutions like the ED and CBI against people."

The contentious BBC documentary series on Prime Minister Modi was denounced by India last week.

We believe



that this is a piece of propaganda meant to promote a particular false narrative. During a weekly media briefing on January 19, spokesperson for the External Affairs Ministry Arindam Bagchi stated, "The bias, lack of objectivity, and frankly continuing colonial mindset are blatantly visible."

The documentary, according to the MEA spokesperson, is a reflection of those who are once more propagating this narrative.

Meanwhile, more than 300 prominent Indians, including retired judges, bureaucrats, and veterans of the armed forces, signed a statement on Saturday condemning the British national broadcaster for its "unrelenting prejudice" toward India and its leader.
