Rishi Sunak defends ‘independent’ BBC amid Modi series row | ‘Investing Heavily In India Ties’

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has defended the independence of UK's state broadcaster BBC amid row over a controversial documentary series on PM Narendra Modi. Addressing reporters at Downing Street, Sunak's spokesperson echoed a statement issued by Foreign Secretary James Cleverly in Parliament earlier this week. “The BBC is independent in its output and we would stress that we continue to regard India as an incredibly important international partner,” the spokesperson said.

Their meaning of indipendence is agree for what ever Britan and USA tells.

Hindustan Times should creat Churchill Documentary

[SinghSabha]

We need to make documentaries on Jallianwala Bagh massacre and Churchill Bengal famine

[netaji]

Sunak didn't quite back the BBC; he merely said the BBC was independent in creating and broadcasting its own content. So, in a way, he is just saying that the UK govt has no role to play in this controversy.

People should know that a foreigner of indian origin is not an indian

It's time government asks Indians to use Indian platforms only. We cant play in the hands of western platforms for long for our own security. Mr. Modi has an aura where his appeal could lead many of us to change. We must make competitive platforms fast and shift. We did achieve success in UPI and digital corona vaccination.

I'm waiting for Bengal femine by Churchill

[Samir]

Britain is the The sidekick of United States, so must not be taken too seriously or given too much importance

[desistarktm]

Islamo-left: Kashmir files is polarizing.

Islamo-left: By making another polarizing documentary.
:Well. go on.

[rajrada]

this is what can be expected in disguise of good relations, learning from the past and present

[krutikashah]

Next term is also of bjp... 🇮🇳
भारतीयों का इस विषय पर क्या कहना है वो महत्त्व का है।। न की usa और uk ki सोच और मान्यता।।। जय हिंद।।🇮🇳

[bidyasagarjoshi]

A man who himself is not independent as he is a political representative of a particular political ideology is defending the freedom of an organization which represents a particular mindset

[desrai]

If he backs the BBC then why is he or India even talking to each other? India should make it clear ! No anti India activities!

[swamyraji]

MODIJI HAS BECOME POPULAR THANK U CHINESE BACKED (BLODY BASTERD COMPANY BBC )
WHATEVER U DO 20204 MODIJI IS OUR PM FOR THIRD TIME

[devotion]

It is reprehensible that the BJP thinks that they should not complain. Try to prove if you are fair.

[JaativadiandAarakshanvadiHINDU]

Our news media houses should make documentary on Winston Churchill and british museum filled with Indian kings property, kohinoor diamond etc

[Stiffytheenlightened]

What a great man Rishi Sunak is, unlike his countrymen.

[sreekumarnair]

If Sunak intends to invest in the relationship with India using the way shown by BBC, then he should remember that India will definitely block his way of investment 😉 as it has done with the BBC investment 😉.
