Mahua Moitra: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Wednesday tweeted the link to episode 2 of the controversial BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A few days back she and another TMC MP Derek O’Brien had shared the link to episode 1 and vowed to fight against “censorship”.
On Friday the government had directed social media platforms Twitter and YouTube to block links to the documentary titled “India: The Modi Question”. The ministry of external affairs has trashed the documentary as a “propaganda piece” that lacks objectivity and reflects a colonial mindset.

Episode 2 shared
“Here is Episode 2 (with buffering delays). Will post another link when they get this one removed,” Moitra tweeted.
O’Brien was among the opposition leaders whose tweet on the documentary was removed by Twitter. On Sunday, the two MPs also shared a list of Twitter links “blocked” on the government’s direction.
“Twitter links of citizens blocked by Govt for sharing @BBC report. @derekobrienmp & @pbhushan1 on it. My link is still up,” Moitra tweeted. Moitra said she will not accept “censorship”.
She posted a link to the documentary on her official handle stating -“Sorry, Haven’t been elected to represent world’s largest democracy to accept censorship. Here’s the link. Watch it while you can.”
Government is secure
“Govt on war footing to ensure no one in India can watch a mere @BBC show. Shame that the emperor & courtiers of the world’s largest democracy are so insecure,” she tweeted on Saturday.
“Censorship. Twitter has taken down my tweet of the BBC documentary. It received lakhs of views. The one-hour BBC documentary exposes how PM hates minorities,” O’Brien had alleged on Saturday. On Sunday, he said one of his tweets sharing the link is still up and shared it.
