The Supreme Court issues notice to the Centre on a plea seeking direction to restrain the Central government from censoring the BBC documentary relating to the 2002 Gujarat Riots. The SC seeks a response from the Centre within three weeks. The court posts the matter for hearing in April.
The lead plea was filed by Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, veteran journalist N Ram and lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan.
In their appeal to the top court, they have sought a direction to restrain the centre from curbing their right to “receive and disseminate information” on the two-part BBC series called “India: The Modi Question”
