If the BJP govt truly believes that the #BBCDocumentary on @narendramodi is not true, then why block it on YouTube in India? What is the govt afraid of?

The Truth fears nothing. It is Lies & Jumlas that require constant cover-ups!
The reaction continued to turning strong after Indian government ordered Twitter and YouTube to take down links of a BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The latest reports suggested that tweets and YouTube videos of the documentary titled "India: The Modi Question" no longer appear on the microblogging and video-sharing websites.
The India media reported that Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry told the two social media giants to block the first episode of the BBC documentary a day after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak distanced himself from the documentary series.

The ministry told Twitter to remove over 50 tweets on the documentary by Britain's national broadcaster, the people said.
