"Highly unfortunate; strict actions should be taken against this": Gajendra Singh Shekhawat hits out at Congress over AI-generated video of PM's late mother

Jodhpur (Rajasthan) [India], September 14 (ANI): Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that strict action should be taken against the Congress party over an AI-generated video posted by the Bihar Congress, which allegedly depicted two characters resembling Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother.
Speaking to the reporters, the Union Minister said, "This is highly unfortunate, and I think strict actions should be taken against this."
Earlier, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari slammed the Congress party and said that the Congress party consistently breaches all moral and ethical standards.
"Standards of ethics are not meant for Congress. They keep breaking all scales of immorality. Whatever happens legally will happen, but the biggest judge is the public, and the public will teach them a lesson," Tiwari said.
Meanwhile, Haryana Minister Anil Vij on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of using artificial intelligence (AI) to spread falsehoods due to a lack of substantial issues.
Speaking to reporters in Ambala, Vij alleged that the Congress is attempting to create confusion and mislead the public. "The Congress has run out of issues... Therefore, now they are resorting to AI to spread lies. They want to create confusion among the people and mislead them. A deceitful party only indulges in deception," Vij said.
This follows a viral video allegedly posted by the Bihar Congress on social media, which showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi dreaming about his late mother, Heeraben Modi, going viral.
Meanwhile, an FIR has been filed against leaders of the Indian National Congress for disseminating an AI-generated video that purportedly maligns the reputation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother.
The action, which amounts to a serious infringement of legal standards, ethical norms, and the dignity of women, occurred through the official social media account of INC Bihar on the platform X on September 10.
The complaint, which led to this legal action, was lodged by Sanket Gupta, the Convenor of the BJP Delhi Election Cell. The FIR cites multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, specifically sections 18(2), 336(3), 336(4), 340(2), 352, 356(2), and 61(2). (ANI)
