In a significant development, Russia has accused the BBC of “waging an information war” on different fronts – not only against Moscow but also against other global centers of power pursuing an independent policy, days after the British broadcaster released a controversial series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made these remarks when asked about the BBC’s controversial documentary.
“Our Indian friends have already made a comment on this situation. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is yet another evidence of the BBC waging an information war on different fronts – not only against Russia but also against other global centers of power pursuing an independent policy,” Zakharova told reporters.
After a certain number of years, it turns out that the BBC is fighting even within the British establishment, being an instrument of the interests of some groups against others, she said.
