Overview

• Assam Congress’s media chief Bedabrata Bora lodged the complaint at Dispur Police Station, naming state BJP president Dilip Saikia and social media functionaries and alleging criminal conspiracy, communal incitement and Model Code violations.
• Guwahati police said they have received the complaint and are enquiring into it, and they confirmed that no FIR had been registered at the time of reporting.
• The video, posted on BJP Assam’s X handle on September 15 under the title “Assam without BJP,” depicts Muslims as illegal immigrants, claims a future 90% Muslim population, and shows Rahul Gandhi and Gaurav Gogoi before a Pakistani flag with captions urging voters to choose carefully.
• The Congress sought a forensic probe, seizure of devices used by the BJP’s social media team, takedown orders under the IT Act, and action by the Election Commission, while the clip remained live on the party’s account.
• Assam cabinet minister Pijush Hazarika defended the content as highlighting illegal immigration and demographic change, as opposition leaders including AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi condemned it as Islamophobic and “genocidal” ahead of the September 22 BTC polls and the 2026 assembly race.
