In response to a plea seeking the removal of an AI generated video that depicts a derogatory scenario of Assam being "taken over" by Muslims in the event that the BJP loses the upcoming Assembly elections, the Supreme Court on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, sent notices to the Assam unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and social media platform X.
After hearing the case, a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta sent summons to X and the Assam section of the BJP."A video has been posted as part of the upcoming election it shows that in case a certain political party does not come to power, a certain community will take over it shows people with skullcaps and beards," said advocate Nizam Pasha, who represented the applicant in court.
He asked the court to take necessary criminal action against the people who disseminated the material.
According to the appeal, which was submitted through counsel Lzafeer Ahmad, the video, which was uploaded on September 15 from the BJP's Assam unit's official X handle, shows clearly Muslim people occupying important Assamese monuments, such as government lands, Rang Ghar, Guwahati airport, and tea farms.
The video demonstrates both the egregious failing and the total disrespect for secular values that the government of any state in our nation is required to defend.
Additionally, it is argued that a State Government, which is elected and established by the Indian Constitution, is the protector of all communities and is expressly forbidden by the document from discriminating against people on the basis of their race, religion, caste, gender, or language, among other grounds.
Therefore, an elected government bears a significantly heavier burden of being just, fair, and secular," the application stated.
Asserting that "the worst fate that a State can be met with is its takeover by Muslims," the film "openly targets, vilifies, and demonises Muslims," according to the argument.
In order to avoid "further communal disharmony," it requested instructions for the video's immediate removal from X.
