Sharing of clips from film via social media barred under emergency powers available to government, aide says
India has blocked the airing of a BBC documentary that questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership during the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying that even sharing of any clips via social media is barred.
While the BBC has not aired the documentary in India, the video was uploaded on some YouTube channels, Gupta said. Modi was the chief minister of the western state of Gujarat when it was gripped by communal riots that left more than 1,000 people dead, by government count - most of them Muslims. The violence erupted after a train carrying Hindu pilgrims caught fire, killing 59.Modi denied accusations that he failed to stop the rioting.
