British MP Bob Blackman has slammed the BBC for 'biased' reporting on the consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
"The BBC must be able to provide a decent record of what is going on across the world," he said.
The BBC's coverage of the Ram Mandir's consecration ceremony in Ayodhya on January 22 came under question in the British Parliament after a member termed it "biased" and said the BBC should provide "a decent record of what is going on across the world".
Speaking in the UK Parliament, Bob Blackman said the BBC reported that this was the site of the destruction of a mosque, forgetting the fact that it had been a temple for more than 2,000 years.
"Last week in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, the Ram Mandir was consecrated. This was of great joy to Hindus across the world as being the birthplace of Lord Ram," Blackman said.
"Very sadly, the BBC, in their coverage reported, of course, that this was the site of the destruction of a mosque, forgetting the fact that it had been a temple for more than 2,000 years before that happened and that the Muslims had been allocated a five-acre site on which to erect a mosque adjacent to the town," he said.
The MP further asked other parliament members to "allow time for a debate in government time on the impartiality of the BBC and its failure to provide a decent record of what is actually going on all over the world."
Later, in a post on X, the Parliamentarian said the constituents have raised concerns surrounding the BBC's biased reporting of the Ram Mandir.
He said that, as an avid supporter of the rights of Hindus, "this article has caused great disharmony."
Kejriwal back with his gimmick and game of lies ... these are too late in the day !!
Maybe he has burnt the bridge...
Otherwise a few RSS leaders 'backed' him in the past. His 2011 Anna Hazare movement against Manmohan Singh government for Lok Pal was not possible without RSS backing.
