Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also took a jibe at the Narendra Modi-led government and said, “Reports of Income Tax raid at BBC’s Delhi office. Wow, really? How unexpected.”
The survey operations at the BBC offices come amid a controversy over United Kingdom’s national broadcaster’s documentary on Prime Minister Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Subsequently, the Supreme Court on February 3 sought responses from the Centre and others on the separate petitions challenging its decision to block the documentary.
The top court had directed the central government to produce original records relating to its decision to block the BBC documentary.
