Description
University students in India’s southern state of Kerala burnt an effigy of Narendra Modi in response to the banning of a BBC documentary critical of the Prime Minister.
Some universities have now banned screening ‘India: The Modi Question’, which looks at Modi’s role during deadly 2002 sectarian riots, after his government attempted to block its spread online.
The broadcaster's programme alleges the Hindu nationalist Modi, premier of Gujarat state at the time, ordered police to turn a blind eye to an orgy of violence there that left at least 1,000 people dead, most of them minority Muslims. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
