The Supreme Court established the SIT in response to the riots in Gujarat. In relation to the riots, the committee found no evidence against Narendra Modi. No evidence had been discovered against Modi, according to the SIT. The Supreme Court upheld the SIT’s clean bill of health for Modi in June 2022.

The foreign ministry spread false information about India.

Arindam Bagchi, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, claimed that although we do not know the documentary’s motivations, it is unfair. This is prime minister-hatred propaganda. “This documentary is an attempt to tell a story of a specific kind of propaganda against India,” Bagchi said. The documentary contains no facts. It exhibits a slave mentality. We don’t know what the purpose of this is.

The British Prime Minister also voiced his disapproval.

Also discussed in the British Parliament was the BBC documentary. Imran Hussain, a member of parliament of Pakistani descent, claimed that Narendra Modi was directly to blame for the riots in Gujarat. The riot victims are still waiting for justice. What do you have to say about Modi’s role in the riots, he questioned British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

‘I do not agree at all with the way Prime Minister Modi has been shown in the BBC documentary,’ Sunak said in response. The British government’s position is clear, he said. We do not tolerate violence anywhere in the world, but I strongly disagree with how Prime Minister Modi was portrayed in the documentary.

On Twitter, millions of users watched live.

Musk reluctantly agreed to take part in this interview at the Twitter corporate offices. On Twitter, millions of users followed it live. He discussed deep fake, artificial intelligence from Twitter, and the US elections during this.

When James Clayton questioned Musk about why he agreed to the interview, Musk responded, “There’s a lot going on right now.” I actually have a lot of respect for BBC. This interview is a good chance to get some feedback, ask some questions, and learn what needs to be changed.

It would be preferable to change BBC’s tag to “public funded.”

The BBC’s account was recently labelled as “Government Funded Media” on Twitter. This was rebuffed by the BBC. Musk joked about the issue, claiming that “BBC did not like the tag of state funded media.” I believe it would be appropriate to change this tag to public funded, he said. There won’t be many arguments against this. We’re attempting to be exact. Musk received an email from the BBC asking him to quickly delete the tag from the account on Twitter.

Twitter CEO mentioned a dog.

Musk interrupted the BBC reporter and declared, “I am no longer the CEO of Twitter,” during the interview. Now the CEO of Twitter is my pet dog, Floki. Elon Musk joked about his dog Floki becoming the new CEO of Twitter earlier on February 15. Musk posted a picture of Floki and commented, “Twitter’s new CEO is amazing. It surpasses the others in quality. Additionally, it is very stylish and effective with numbers.
