According to reports, Income Tax inspectors are undertaking a review of the British public broadcaster BBC’s Indian operations. The specific contours of the survey are yet unknown. More information is awaited. The searches came only weeks after the BBC aired a documentary about Prime Minister Narendra Modi called “India: The Modi Question,” which sparked outrage.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh stated earlier today that the government is pursuing the BBC rather than conceding the Opposition’s demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Adani-Hindenburg case.
“We are demanding Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Adani matter and the government is behind BBC,” said Ramesh.
