"People of Bihar will teach Congress a lesson": Assam CM Sarma on AI video featuring PM Modi's mother

Guwahati (Assam) [India], September 12 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday hit out at Congress over an AI-generated video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother, calling it "reprehensible", saying that people of Bihar will teach them a lesson in the upcoming assembly elections.
"Whatever the Congress is doing regarding the Prime Minister and his mother is reprehensible, and the people of Bihar will teach the Congress a lesson. The people of the country are also outraged. Anyone who tries to defame the mother will never succeed in our country," Sarma told reporters here.
In an AI-generated video posted by the Bihar Congress that has gone viral, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen dreaming about his late mother, Heeraben Modi, who is lambasting him over his politics.
The Congress has come under fire once again, even as the recent controversy over alleged abuses hurled at PM Modi and his mother by a man during the 'Voter Adhikaar Rally' in Bihar's Darbhanga had barely subsided.
The BJP had launched a massive attack against the opposition parties, especially Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and its leaders Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, over alleged abuses hurled against PM Modi's mother.
Congress has projected its criticism against PM Modi through an AI-generated video, where the PM's late mother is shown to be critical of politics being done in her name.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hit out at the RJD and Congress over the alleged remarks against her mother. Speaking at an event, he said that the abusive comments were not just an insult to his mother, but to all mothers, sisters and daughters of the country.
PM Modi stated that he had never imagined that such an act would take place on the tradition-rich land of Bihar. He also termed mothers as everyone's "self-respect" and "world".
"Mother is our world. Mother is our self-respect. I had not even imagined what happened a few days ago in this tradition-rich Bihar. My mother was abused by the RJD-Congress in Bihar. These abuses are not just an insult to my mother. These are insults to the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country. I know how bad all of you, every mother of Bihar, felt after seeing and hearing this! I know, as much pain as I have in my heart, the people of Bihar are also in the same pain," he said.
The Prime Minister stated that he was separated from his mother so that he could serve the country's other women. He stated that his mother, who passed away after completing 100 years and had nothing to do with politics, was abused by the state of RJD and Congress. (ANI)
