Kolkata: A leftist students group of West Bengal’s Visva Bharati University has planned to screen the controversial BBC documentary- “India; The Modi Question” on Thursday evening on campus.

The Defence Minister will arrive at Bolpur-Santiniketan late Thursday evening and attend the convocation ceremony scheduled on Friday morning.

Bolpur police have not given any permission for the screening of the documentary. But the students’ group has started campaigning for the screening of the documentary in Bolpur.

The documentary was screened earlier at Presidency University and Jadavpur University by the SFI activists, without permission from varsity authorities.
