Readers of Kapil’s Khichadi will already know that I exposed the systematic and institutionalised fake news operation of the BBC some years back.
In June of 2014 I wrote about the BBC being anti-Modi. I raised the issue since even in 2014 my own investigations showed that the BBC was anti-India and anti-Modi since at least 2002. In 2014 it became clear to many of us that the BBC narrative to paint a very negative image of the then CM Modi was to undermine Indian elections, and I guess to stop CM Modi becoming PM Modi. They failed, but that did not mean their central institutional mindset of being anti-India stopped. The anti-India virus had infected the organisation, and it would only get worse.
In February 2020 I exposed the corrupt practices of the BBC yet again. I said, ‘In my view, and let me be upfront from the start, the BBC has lost its way. It is abusing its power as the national privileged broadcaster. It is run by people with an agenda, their own biased agenda that is more woke than common sense. In my view the BBC has failed in its duty of care to its own charter’.
In September of 2021 I wrote a piece titled, ‘BBC – A Mouthpiece for the Terrorists?’ Reporting on the BBC had become so compromised that one was left feeling that it was there to defend the atrocities committed by Pakistan. I was so incensed that I wrote, ‘So I ask Richard Sharp Chairman of the BBC, Tim Davie Director General of the BBC, The Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and our Prime Minister Rt Hons Boris Johnson MP: ‘What will it take before you get a grip on this national disgrace called the BBC?’
The Tory government had ample time and opportunity to fix the BBC. Instead, they tinkered around the edges. The rot that had set in festered and grew into a monster that no one wanted to confront.
Thankfully in 2024 Pt Satish Sharma and his team researched the corruption in news and documentary programmes that had become rife in the BBC. At their cost, they produced an eye opening and earth-shattering documentary that exposed the very core of the BBC and its institutionalised bias.
The name of the documentary is ‘BBC on Trial’ and you can verify for yourself its content: https://bbcontrial.com and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WeI06k6n20
Let me openly challenge our politicians and the media at large, I am ready and willing to ensure that this documentary becomes available to everyone so they can understand how the BBC has, since its inception in 1922, been the creator and narrator of lies against India and Hindus. PM Starmer, if you have the spine to face the truth, please organise a screening in the House of Commons, I will ask Pt Satish Sharma to make available the documentary.
Pt Satish Sharma commented, ‘The BBC dismissed my concerns leaving us no option but to produce a fully researched documentary. Which I will be pleased to make available to Parliamentarians, before Multilingual release across India’.
Some of you may remember that last year we saw the publication of the ‘Asserson Report’ that found that the BBC was biased against Israel and the Jewish community. Nothing new there, we all knew this of course.
The litany of corrupt practices within the BBC has been allowed by those in power. Let me be clear, and it is my genuine view that much of this has happened with the nod of approval from very senior executives and the BBC Board.
I was therefore not surprised when we learnt this week that the BBC, in at least two separate programmes, purposefully spliced videos of President Trump in such a way as to change the very meaning of what he was saying. And guess what, once again it was at a time of a major election. The only reason why this came out was because finally someone within the BBC found their spine and leaked confidential internal reports. President Trump of course does not take such foolishness lightly. He is now on a war path to take the BBC to the cleaners. What is clear is that unless Keir Starmer and Number 10 intervene, President Trump is likely to seek damages as high as $5 billion.
Heads at the top of the BBC have rolled, but there are many more still in their place who should also be sacked. The BBC is unfit to exist in its current structure. Thousands of BBC staff need to go since they are there not for BBC programming that is fit for the nation, but it seems they are there to promote a corrupt ideology and world view to the masses.
Let me remind you all, the Rt Hon Priti Patel MP wrote on 19th May 2014 to complain and challenge Lord Tony Hall the Director General of the BBC about a Newsnight programme that was nothing short of a hatched job to undermine and destroy PM Modi. A decade later, it seems nothing has changed at the BBC. The only conclusion I can come to is that the BBC is institutionally biased against certain nations, certain people and certain faiths. I coined the term Bogus Broadcasting Corporation; I stand by it.
