Outrage in India as caller on BBC show abuses PM Modi and his mother
India was outraged on Wednesday as a caller on a BBC show abused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother. The incident happened on March 1 during BBC Asian Network s Big Debate podcast surrounding the question Do you feel proud seeing the turban being referred to as a crown in EastEnders . Much of the discussion centred around the racial discrimination faced by Sikhs and Indians in the UK.
EastEnders is a famous British soap opera on air since 1985.
Social media users expressed outrage against the BBC for airing the show. Following massive criticism, the recorded version of the three-hour podcast was edited to remove them.Â
