"A look at tensions between Indian PM Narendra Modi and India's Muslim minority, investigating claims about his role in the 2002 riots that left over a thousand dead," says the series descriptor.
The government today slammed a BBC series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling it a "propaganda piece with bias" that shouldn't be "dignified" with a response.
"The documentary is a reflection on the agency that has made it - it's a propaganda piece, there is bias and a continuing colonial mindset. Can't dignify such a film," said foreign ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi.
The BBC's two-part series called "India: The Modi Question" has provoked sharp reactions.
"A look at tensions between Indian PM Narendra Modi and India's Muslim minority, investigating claims about his role in the 2002 riots that left over a thousand dead," says the series descriptor.
