Raids on BBC offices will backfire on government


This refers to the news report "I-T dept survey on BBC continues" with the income tax department raiding the British Broadcasting Corporation offices in Delhi and Mumbai under the pretext of conducting a survey.  Does the Modi government really think that it can scare their management and someday go to buy this global news channel as well just like NDTV through Gautam Adani?  Well, I personally feel that these raids on BBC offices will definitely backfire on the Modi government sooner or later because (forget Indian audience) the global audiences still prefer watching this particular news channel for it's impartial, independent and fair news from around the world.

The BBC has only brought out the same old actual facts of Modi through a well-documented report and has shown how he brushed aside the violent acts of his Sangh Parivar goons during the infamous 2002 Gujarat riots through this documentary. I therefore think that by raiding the offices of a reputed news channel like BBC on flimsy reasons, the Modi government has finally shown it's true colours and has shown the world that it just does not care for democracy in India.
