BBC documentary on Narendra Modi screened at Kolkata university, claims SFI

Members of the CPM's students' wing, the Students Federation of India (SFI), on Friday claimed that the controversial BBC documentary 'India: The Modi Question' was sucessfully screened at Kolkata's Presidency University.

However, the Left-backed students' body said there was a sudden power cut during thescreening, which they claimed was an attempt by the university authorities to stop the broadcast of the two-part documentary series, which is an alleged critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his time as the Gujarat chief minister.

SFI members said they staged a protest on campus during the power outage, which they alleged was an attempt by the university authorities to stop the screening of the documentary series.

"We protested on campus against the (varsity) authorities as they intentionally disrupted the screening," Anandarupa Dhar, an SFI member, said.
