Days after India blocked a BBC documentary that examines Prime Minister Narendra Modi s role during 2002 anti-Muslim riots and banned people from sharing it online, authorities are scrambling to halt screenings of the program at colleges and universities and restrict clips of it on social media, a move that has been decried by critics as an assault on press freedom.
The government has blocked the broadcast of the film in India and banned people from sharing clips on social media, citing emergency powers under its IT laws.
