Taking to X, the Hyderabad MP alleged that the BJP sees the presence of Muslims in India as a problem. “BJP Assam has posted a disgusting AI video that shows a Muslim-majority Assam if there was no BJP. They are not fear-mongering just for votes, this is the repulsive Hindutva ideology in true form. The very existence of Muslims in India is a problem for them, their dream is a Muslim-mukt Bharat.

Video Sparks Oppn Outrage Over ‘Communal Hatred’

The Assam BJP posted the AI-generated video, titled Assam Without BJP, on its official X handle, triggering opposition's condemnation. The clip depicted Muslims occupying public spaces and government land as alleged “illegal immigrants”, and also included visuals alleging Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Gaurav Gogoi had links with Pakistan.

Political leaders accused the state BJP unit of spreading communal hatred. “The Assam BJP unit has stooped to the lowest level of political propaganda by spreading a fake, AI-generated video that portrays the Muslim majority Assam to stoke communal hatred. This is a deliberate attack on social harmony, an insult to our shared values. The people of Assam will give you the right answer for your poisonous campaign,” said AICC secretary Mansoor Khan in his post on X.
