Anil Antony left the Congress in January following the controversy over the BBC documentary on Gujarat riots and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He had said that he took the decision following “intolerant calls to retract a tweet by those fighting for free speech”.

"I have resigned from my roles in @incindia @INCKerala. Intolerant calls to retract a tweet, by those fighting for free speech. I refused. @facebook wall of hate/abuses by ones supporting a trek to promote love! Hypocrisy thy name is! Life goes on. Redacted resignation letter below." He also attached his resignation letter," Anil Antony had tweeted.

Opposing the documentary, Anil said that placing the views of the British broadcaster over Indian institutions would “undermine” the country’s sovereignty. He took to Twitter and wrote, "Despite large differences with BJP, I think those in placing views of BBC, a state sponsored channel with a long history of prejudices,and of Jack Straw, the brain behind the Iraq war, over institutions is setting a dangerous precedence,will undermine our sovereignty."
