Amid the Opposition criticism against the Narendra Modi government over the BBC documentary on Narendra Modi’s role in Gujarat Muslim genocide 2002, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Tuesday the PM had been subjected to such allegations since 2002 and had come out shining and more popular.
When asked if he saw the Hindenburg report on Adani erupting right after the BBC documentary as a conspiracy, Shah said to ANI editor Smita Prakash: “Conspire as much against the truth as you want, it will come out shining like the sun. These people are after Modiji since 2002. But every time Modiji has come out clean and become more popular.”
Shah’s interview comes on the day when Income Tax officials raided the BBC’s offices in Mumbai and Delhi.
The raids are happening weeks after the British state-run media released a documentary accusing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of fueling polarization.
The documentary was banned in India.
The two-part BBC documentary cited a previously classified British foreign ministry report saying that Modi met senior police officers during Gujarat genocide and “ordered them not to intervene” in the attacks on Muslims that followed.
