Indian-origin Suella Fernandes, MP of Conservative party joined 72 other MPs to notify BBC over what they allege “skewed” coverage of Brexit by misrepresenting the United Kingdom either as xenophobic or regretful of the leave vote.

Fernandes is among the majority Tory party signatories of a letter to Lord Hall, the director-general of the BBC, calling on the public broadcaster to correct its anti-Brexit stance."It particularly pains us to see how so much of the economic good news we've had since June last year, has been skewed by BBC coverage, which seems unable to break out of pre-referendum pessimism and accept new facts," the letter reads.

"BBC bias can have a substantial effect on the national debate. We fear that, by misrepresenting our country either as xenophobic or regretful of the Leave vote, the BBC will undermine our efforts to carve out a new, global role for this country," the letter adds.

Among the 72 MPs, who have signed the letter, 60 are Tory MPs, 3 Labour MPs, 8 DUP MPs, and Douglas Carswell, UKIP’s only one MP.

Prominent Conservative MPs, who have signed the letter include Iain Duncan Smith, Owen Paterson, Theresa Villers.

Tory MP, Julain Knight, a former BBC journalist who voted Remain, put the letter together.

"If politicians and the public don't view it as an impartial broker, then the future of the BBC will be in doubt," his letter states.

The MPs have urged the BBC to take measures to "correct these flaws in the BBC's coverage of our European Union exit at the earliest moment".

A BBC spokesperson said that its channel is covering the political and financial events in the United Kingdom following the referendum vote in a responsible and impartial way.

He added that the BBC is one of the great exports of the United Kingdom and makes a significant contribution to the country’s creative sector.
