A video posted from the official X handle of Assam BJP has snowballed into controversy for allegedly presenting Muslims as illegal immigrants.
The video titled “Assam Without BJP" shows men in skull caps, apparently Muslims, everywhere from tea states to the airport and Guwahati Accoland. The AI-generated video ends with a message “Choose Your Vote Carefully".
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi hit out at the BJP over the “disgusting" video, saying their dream is a “Muslim-mukt Bharat".
“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," he said.

Amid criticism, Assam Minister Piyush Hazarika said the video highlighted the threat of illegal immigrants who are changing Assam’s demography.
“The Fault (read F-alt) gang of journalists and their pet ecosystem are bawling like ‘professional rotlus’ ever since @BJP4Assam dropped a video exposing what Assam’s future would look like if Paaijaan ever grabbed power. @BJP4Assam video clearly spoke about the threat of illegal immigrants who are changing Assam’s demography — but instantly these “champions of secularism" screamed Islamophobia! Now tell me — why the ‘mirchi’ if the issue is about illegals? And here’s the real kicker — if, in their logic, talking about illegal immigrants = Islamophobia, then aren’t they themselves suggesting that all Muslims are illegal immigrants? Who’s the real Islamophobe here? Them or us?" he wrote on X.
