Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan today, January 25, questioned the timing of the BBC documentary. He said that it is significant as Bharat assumes the G-20 presidency. Referring to the screening of the controversial BBC documentary “India: The Modi Question”, he said this is the time Bharat takes the G-20 Presidency. He wondered why this particular time was chosen to bring out this documentary. He mentioned the significance of it as it comes from a country which had predicted, at the time of our freedom, that our country was not capable of preserving its liberty. Those who dreamed of our collapse cannot tolerate our growth.
The Governor added that several courts, including our Supreme Court, have delivered several verdicts on the matter. But some people in our country give more importance to BBC than our courts. It is from our old ‘colonial masters’ who ruled us for two hundred years! Their prediction that our country would be broken into pieces did not materialise; not only that, we are still united, integrated and democratic and now the world leader. The old colonial masters’ documentary should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
