The Assam Congress has lodged a complaint against the BJP for allegedly using AI-generated videos on social media to stir communal discord and incite enmity amongst religious groups. The police complaint highlights this as a tactic to sway voters in the upcoming Bodoland Territorial Council elections.
The complaint, filed at Dispur Police Station, accuses the Assam BJP, represented by leaders such as president Dilip Saikia and social media co-convenor Shekharjyoti Baishya, of a criminal conspiracy aimed at targeting particular communities and political figures including Gaurav Gogoi.
The allegedly offensive video, named 'Assam without BJP,' portrays a dystopian view of a Muslim-dominated Assam. The Congress claims it incites fear and hatred, urging authorities to halt its dissemination and urging a forensic investigation. The BJP has countered by claiming the content addresses threats from illegal immigrants changing Assam's demographics.
