Amid the video controversy of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam BJP has taken a major action on Wednesday (February 11, 2026). BJP has expelled Vikas Gaurav, an employee working in the social media cell, from the party.
Recently, an AI generated video of CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had surfaced, in which the Chief Minister was shown targeting two people wearing caps. After this video surfaced, controversy arose in political circles. Many opposition parties including Congress, Samajwadi Party, AIMIM started accusing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of communal differences, anti-Muslim and spreading hatred. However, that video was deleted after the controversy escalated.
Congress had raised questions on Himanta Biswa Sarma
Reacting to Himanta Biswa Sarma’s AI video, Congress had termed it hate-filled and disturbing. The party said that it cannot be dismissed as a common troll content. This is the true reflection of the fascist face, which has nurtured hatred within itself for many decades. In the last 11 years, an attempt has been made to normalize this hatred. The Congress party demanded strict action in this matter and also sought the intervention of the judiciary.
Asaduddin Owaisi targets Assam CM
AIMIM chief and Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi also fiercely attacked this video of Himanta Biswa Sarma. Owaisi said that while on one hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes to other countries of the world and gives the slogan of Sabka Saath and Sabka Vikas, on the other hand, a Chief Minister of his own party in the country is targeting Muslims and raising the slogan of No Mercy.
PIL also filed against Himanta Biswa Sarma in Supreme Court
At the same time, after this matter came to light, 12 people also filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court of the country against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. In the PIL, the Chief Minister was accused of making statements filled with hatred, inciting communalism and irresponsible. The petitioners demanded the Supreme Court to seriously intervene in this matter.
