UK Member of Parliament Bob Blackman has voiced concern over the perceived biased reporting by the British media on the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.

The MP criticized the BBC for its coverage, citing the omission of the temple’s 2000-year history before the mosque’s destruction. Blackman pointed out that Muslims were allocated a separate five-acre site for a mosque adjacent to the town.

Expressing disappointment in the media’s failure to accurately portray events, he called for a debate in government time on the impartiality of the BBC.

Blackman’s plea for a comprehensive representation of global events in media resonated with his parliamentary colleagues. He urged fellow MPs to allocate time for a discussion on the BBC’s reporting practices.

In a related development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently highlighted the governance of Lord Rama as a source of inspiration for the framers of the Indian Constitution.

This underscores the cultural and historical significance of the Ram Mandir and emphasizes the need for accurate and unbiased media coverage on such matters.

As debates on media impartiality gain momentum, the call for fair reporting transcends national borders, emphasizing the importance of accurate representation in shaping public understanding of global events.
