The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Narendra Modi government over petitions challenging the move to block the controversial BBC documentary titled India: The Modi Question. The court has sought original records pertaining to the government decision and will now hear the matter in April, Live Law reported.
Responding to the petitions, filed by litigant ML Sharma and journalist N Ram, advocate Prashant Bhushan, and TMC MP Mahua Moitra, Union law minister Kiren Rijiju had earlier said, “This is how they waste the precious time of Hon’ble Supreme Court where thousands of common citizens are waiting and seeking dates for justice.”
