The Assam assembly elections are witnessing a heated political battle after a controversial video involving Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma went viral. The footage, later deleted by the BJP, reportedly showed the CM taking aim at Bangladeshi Muslims depicted as targets. The Congress has strongly condemned the video, calling it a “fascist genocide vid” and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi take action against such “hate” and “point-blank murder provocation.” The opposition accused the BJP of spreading communal hatred and provoking mass violence in an already polarised scenario. The controversy has intensified the poll atmosphere, with critics highlighting the central leadership’s silence on repeated provocations against a specific community in the state.
