New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

A request for a ban on BBC in India over its documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and allegations linked to the 2002 Gujarat riots was rejected today by the Supreme Court, which called it “misconceived”.<\/p>\n

“How can a documentary affect the country,” the Supreme Court said, rejecting a petition by Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta seeking a ban on Britain’s national broadcaster operating in India.<\/p>\n

Senior lawyer Pinki Anand, representing the petitioner, had argued that the BBC was “deliberately maligning India’s image” and had also asked for an investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the “conspiracy” behind the documentary.<\/p>\n

“This plea is misconceived, how can the Supreme Court pass such orders,” the judges said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
