The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking complete ban on the operations of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Indian territory in the wake of its documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his approach toward the country's Muslim minority. The public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta alleged that the BBC took an "anti-India" position through the documentary.
