BBC taking money from Chinese firm Huawei in cash-for propaganda deal: Jethmalani on PM Modi documentary row | India News

NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani on Tuesday alleged that the “anti-India” BBC was so “desperate” for money that it had received funds from “Chinese state-linked company Huawei” and was now actively pursuing Beijing‘s agenda.

Wading into the controversy revolving around the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jethmalani tweeted: “Why is BBC so anti-India? Because it needs money desperately enough to take it from Chinese state linked Huawei and pursue the latter’s agenda (BBC a fellow traveller, Comrade ⁦Jairam?)It’s a simple cash-for-propaganda deal. BBC is up for sale.”
In another tweet the advocate said that the BBC has a “long history of spreading disinformation against India”.
“Apart from publishing a truncated map of India without J&K until 2021 when it apologised to the Indian govt and corrected the map, BBC has a long history of spreading disinformation against India. The anti PM documentary is a continuation of this malafide trend,” he tweeted.
