BBC Agrees Vinod Mehta's text was defamatory, removes text from website
Sri. Farokh Merat (over 70 years old, living in Paris) and a team of committed devotees took on the mighty BBC for broadcasting Mr Vinod Mehta's highly defamatory talk on BBC Radio 4 on January 28th & 30th, 2005.
A resolute and determined Sri. Merat was a source of inspiration and steadfast leadership in carrying out a peaceful communication with BBC. Finally he and his team have persuaded BBC that Mr. Vinod Mehta's talk was indeed defamatory and was not based on facts. Completely convinced by the solid proof provided by the Farokh Merat team, BBC has been graceful enough to accept that Mr. Mehta's talk was guilty of defamation and removed the text of the talk from its website. In addition they have also borne a part of the legal expenses incurred.(This effort was funded by more than 20 devotees from different parts of the world including organizations like Satsangham in USA and HCC, Canada).
This is proof indeed of the dignity of the Kanchi Mutt and its devotees and their infinite patience even while dealing with such blatant aggression on the reputation of the Acharyas.
