Assam BJP Deletes AI Video Depicting CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Shooting Muslims After Outrage
In a shocking turn of events, the Assam BJP has deleted a social media post featuring screenshots from an AI-generated video that sparked widespread outrage across the country. The video, which was widely shared on social media platforms, showed an avatar resembling Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma aiming at a framed photo of two Muslim men, with the caption “Point blank shot”. The video was widely condemned by opposition parties, Muslim organizations, and citizens alike, who demanded action against the BJP for promoting hate and violence against a particular community.
The video, which was generated using artificial intelligence, was shared by the Assam BJP on its social media handles, but was later deleted after the party faced backlash from all quarters. However, the damage had already been done, and the video had been widely shared and viewed by millions of people. The opposition parties were quick to condemn the video, with many leaders accusing the BJP of promoting hate and violence against Muslims.
The Congress party was among the first to react to the video, with its leaders accusing the BJP of trying to polarize the society and create divisions among people. “This is a clear example of the BJP’s divisive politics, where they are trying to create hatred and violence against a particular community,” said a Congress leader. “The party should apologize for sharing such a video and take action against those responsible for creating and sharing it.”
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) also condemned the video, with its leader saying that the BJP was trying to create a sense of fear and insecurity among Muslims. “This video is a clear example of the BJP’s hate politics, where they are trying to create a sense of fear and insecurity among Muslims,” said the TMC leader. “The party should be ashamed of sharing such a video and should apologize for it.”
The Muslim organizations also condemned the video, with many leaders accusing the BJP of promoting hate and violence against the community. “This video is a clear example of the BJP’s anti-Muslim stance, where they are trying to create hatred and violence against us,” said a Muslim leader. “We demand that the party should apologize for sharing such a video and take action against those responsible for creating and sharing it.”
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma later clarified that he had neither seen the video nor shared it from his accounts. “I have not seen the video, nor have I shared it from my accounts,” said Sarma. “I am not responsible for the video, and I condemn those who are trying to create divisions among people.”
However, the opposition parties were not convinced by Sarma’s clarification, with many leaders accusing him of trying to wash his hands off the controversy. “This is a clear example of the BJP’s double standards, where they are trying to create hatred and violence against a particular community and then denying any responsibility for it,” said an opposition leader. “The Chief Minister should apologize for the video and take action against those responsible for creating and sharing it.”
The controversy surrounding the video has once again highlighted the growing concern about the use of social media to promote hate and violence against particular communities. The incident has also raised questions about the role of artificial intelligence in creating and sharing such content, and the need for social media platforms to take responsibility for the content shared on their platforms.
The incident has also sparked a debate about the need for stricter laws and regulations to govern the use of social media and artificial intelligence. Many experts have argued that the current laws and regulations are not sufficient to deal with the growing menace of hate speech and violence on social media, and that there is a need for more stringent laws and regulations to govern the use of social media and artificial intelligence.
In conclusion, the Assam BJP’s decision to delete the AI-generated video depicting Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shooting Muslims is a welcome move, but it is not enough to undo the damage that has already been done. The party should apologize for sharing such a video and take action against those responsible for creating and sharing it. The incident has once again highlighted the need for stricter laws and regulations to govern the use of social media and artificial intelligence, and the need for social media platforms to take responsibility for the content shared on their platforms.
