Two days after the Enforcement Directorate filed a case against BBC India for foreign exchange violations, Kashmir’s former governor and politician Satya Pal Malik said prime minister Narendra Modi’s handling of the BBC is a “terrible mistake”.
In an interview to the Wire, Malik said that the government’s ban on the BBC documentary on Modi should have never been imposed. “The BBC is a very reputed organisation, and people in the country’s rural areas still listen to the BBC radio and believe in it,” he said.
