In another incident, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration canceled the documentary screening. JNU administration said, “No prior permission for this event has been taken from JNU administration. This is to emphasize that such an unauthorized activity may disturb peace and harmony of the University campus.”

Earlier, the Union government called the documentary a 'propaganda' against India and blocked the documentary in India. The government also told Twitter to block the tweets containing the video link. 

The  British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) released a two-part “India: The Modi Question" series. In the first part released recently, the documentary talked about the Gujarat riot 2002 that took place while PM Modi was the CM of Gujarat. 

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "The documentary is a reflection on the agency that has made it. We think it is a propaganda piece designed to push a particular discredited narrative. The bias, lack of objectivity and continuing colonial mindset are blatantly visible. Can't dignify such a film." 

The second episode of the documentary will be aired on January 24.
