BBC is waging an information war ! – Russia

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

(Moscow) Russia – The British broadcaster has released a controversial series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi related to the 2002 Gujarat riots. The BBC is facing opposition to this. Russia has accused the BBC of “waging an information war” on different fronts while responding to the documentary. Previously, the US and Britain too had criticised this documentary.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the remarks on Friday when asked about the BBC’s controversial documentary. “Our Indian friends have already made a comment on this situation. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is yet another evidence of the BBC waging an information war on different fronts – not only against Russia but also against other global centres of power pursuing an independent policy,” Zakharova told reporters.
