"Congress ordered to take down AI footage featuring Prime Minister Modi and his mother from social media platforms"
In a recent turn of events, a video featuring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother Heeraben Modi has stirred controversy on social media. The video, posted by the Congress party's Bihar unit, shows PM Modi dreaming about his mother, but the party responsible for spreading the AI-generated video remains unclear, as well as the location and time of the initial report.
The video in question was filmed at the stage of the Congress-led Voter Adhikar Yatra in Darbhanga. The incident, which occurred prior to the video's posting, saw a video of an unknown person hurling abuses at PM Modi and his late mother go viral during the event.
The Congress party has faced criticism since the video went viral, with the BJP and NDA allies questioning their methods. The BJP has labelled the video as "shameful" and a targeted attack on the PM. The Congress, however, has maintained that no disrespect was intended towards PM Modi or his late mother.
The Patna High Court has since directed the Congress party to remove the AI-generated video from all social media platforms. The video, which depicts Heeraben Modi criticizing Modi's politics in poll-bound Bihar, has been described as defamatory and offensive to the dignity of PM Modi's mother and motherhood in general in the complaint filed with the Delhi Police.
PM Modi has responded sharply to the incident, stating it was "unimaginable" and "an insult to all mothers, sisters, daughters of the country". He added that he knew how the mothers of Bihar felt after seeing and hearing the abuses. PM Modi also questioned why his mother was abused by the RJD and Congress.
The details of the reaction from the RJD and Congress to PM Modi's comments about the incident in Darbhanga were not specified in the article. The Delhi Police registered a case against the Congress and its IT cell in connection with the video after a complaint by BJP Delhi Election Cell convenor Sanket Gupta on September 13.
Despite the controversy, the Congress party has reiterated that no disrespect was intended towards PM Modi or his late mother. The incident serves as a reminder of the sensitive nature of political discourse and the potential consequences of such actions.
