India uses emergency powers to order takedown of BBC documentary
India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting appears to have filed takedown requests to prevent access to a BBC documentary series titledthat investigates prime minister Narendra Modi's policies and actions toward India's Muslim minority.
Modi has long denied any complicity in the riots, and investigations have found no evidence indicating culpability. India continues to experience political and sectarian violence and revisiting the Gujarat riot has the potential to spark new incidents. So perhaps the use of emergency powers to issue such a takedown order is designed to reduce the chance of violence.
