In a direct attack against the country’s Muslim community, the Bharatiya Janata Party in Assam posted an AI generated video implying that without the saffron party, the northeastern state would be dominated by Muslims.
The video was posted by the BJP Assam Pradesh X account on September 15. So far, it has gained 2.5 million views.The post reads: We can’t let this dream of Paaijaan (Muslims) to be true!!
The video starts with an elderly Muslim man cutting meat with the text ‘Beef Legalisation.’
It then shifts to Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and deputy leader Gaurav Gogoi with a Pakistani flag in the background and text saying, ‘Pakistan Link Pirty.'
Next, it shows Assam’s famous tea gardens with only Muslim tourists with the text, ‘Assam Tea States.’
The video also shows landmarks such as the Guwahati Airport, the famous water theme park Guwahati Accoland, Rang Ghar, the state’s oldest amphitheatre used as a royal sports pavilion during the Ahom dynasty, the Guwahati stadium and the town in general inhabited solely by Muslims.
The video shows scenes of illegal migrants easily entering Assam from neighbouring countries, Hindus losing their lands to Muslims, with a claim that without the BJP, the state would have a 90 percent Muslim population.
The video then concludes with “Choose Your Vote Carefully.”
Assam is currently governed by the BJP with Himanta Biswa Sarma as its chief minister.
Himanta is known for his Islamophobic remarks and has openly called for stricter measures against illegal immigrants, particularly targeting the Muslim community.
Assembly elections in the state are due next year.
Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi took to X, expressing his anguish and calling it disgusting.
“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. Besides this constant whining, they’ve no vision for India,” his X post read.
