The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Assam unit has faced severe backlash for posting an AI-generated video that depicts a dystopian future for Assam without the party’s rule. The video shows Muslims dominating public spaces and government land, allegedly portraying them as illegal immigrants. It also includes visuals of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Gaurav Gogoi with a Pakistani flag in the background, sparking accusations of communal hatred and fear-mongering ¹.

Reactions from Politicians and Netizens

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi strongly condemned the video, calling it “disgusting” and accusing the BJP of advancing a “repulsive Hindutva ideology”. He stated that the party views Muslims as a problem and aims for a “Muslim-mukt Bharat”. The internet is divided, with some users supporting the video and others criticizing it as an attempt to spread communal hate. One user said, “BJP can’t campaign without Pakistan,” while another criticized the party for reducing Assam to a “radicalized communal state” ² ³.

Implications and Controversy

The video’s release comes ahead of the 2026 Assam assembly elections, and its implications are being closely watched. The BJP’s Assam unit has been accused of using divisive politics to gain votes, while the party’s critics argue that the video is an attempt to stoke communal tensions. The controversy has sparked a heated debate about the role of politics in fueling communalism and the impact on Assam’s social fabric ⁴.
