BBC faces backlash after Green Party activist is given 'free rein' on air...

The BBC drew criticism after allowing Green Party activist Ashok Kumar to promote a "Zionism is racism" motion on Politics Live. Jewish journalist Rachel Cunliffe challenged Kumar on air, leading to complaints from Labour Against Antisemitism.

The BBC stated it presents a range of views that receive appropriate scrutiny. Kumar later described his earlier remark about crying as a figure of speech.
