A BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots that has sparked controversy is a `conspiracy` against India, said Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai on Thursday. The `character assassination of the prime minister` amounts to an onslaught, insult and a malicious act against the country, said the governor during his address after inspecting a Republic Day parade near Panaji.
India`s Ministry of External Affairs has criticised the documentary titled `India: The Modi Question` as a `propaganda piece` that lacks objectivity and reflects a colonial mindset. Governor Pillai said that the present controversy was `ill-motivated`, adding in the same breath that he was `not criticising Britain which is one of the friendly countries of India now`.
