New Delhi: The BHARATIYA Janata Party (BJP) has got the support of Anil Antony, son of senior Congress leader and former Kerala Chief Minister AK Antony, over a BBC documentary on PM Modi on the Gujarat riots. There is a controversy in the country about this documentary. The documentary has been rejected by Britain’s PMA Rishi Sunak, but it seems to be getting support from the Congress in the country.
But in the meantime, Anil Antony also resigned from the Congress party on Wednesday. Earlier, Anil Antony had said that giving importance to the idea of the British broadcaster over the opinion of Indian institutions would affect the sovereignty of the country. Anil also tweeted to the party leadership sharing a copy of his resignation letter.
“I have resigned from my roles in the Congress and kerala Congress,” Anil said in a tweet. “Considering yesterday’s events, I believe it would be appropriate for me to give up all my roles in the Congress. I would like to thank everyone especially the Kerala state leadership and Dr Shashi Tharoor.
“I am sure I have my own unique strength that would have enabled me to contribute very effectively to the party in many ways. However, by now I’m well aware that you, your co-workers, and the circle around the leadership are only willing to work with a bunch of tricksters and spoons who will unquestionably work at your behest. It has become the only criterion of merit. Sadly, we don’t have much common ground.
Anil Wrote on Twitter that despite all the differences with the BJP, giving more importance to the views of BBC and former UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw than the views of Indian institutions is a dangerous trend and it will affect the sovereignty of the country. Anil Antony has also said in the tweet that BBC is a government sponsored channel and has a history of alleged prejudice towards India.
Till recently, Anil Antony was in charge of digital communications of the Kerala unit of the Congress. His remarks came at a time when various branches of the state Congress have announced that they will screen a controversial documentary on the 2002 riots in Gujarat. Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat at the time of the riots.
