BJP deletes video showing Himanta Sarma shooting targets wearing Muslim caps after backlash
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party deleted a controversial video shared by its Assam unit on X following widespread criticism online. The move came after the post triggered outrage for allegedly promoting hate and violence against Muslims.
Soon after the video was taken down, the Congress Kerala Unit launched a sharp attack on the ruling party. In a post on X, the Congress shared a screenshot of the deleted video and criticised the BJP for what it described as hate-driven messaging.
“Dear hate factory @BJP4India, It’s not enough if you eat what you vomitted. Do a Savarkar too. APOLOGIZE!” the Congress Kerala Unit said in its post.
The now-deleted video, originally shared by BJP Assam, had shown Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma using an air rifle to shoot at targets depicted as Muslim men, accompanied by clips from a film and the caption “Point blank shot”. The post had drawn heavy criticism from opposition leaders, journalists, and civil society members, who termed it hate speech and accused the party of inciting violence.
The post had garnered lakhs of views before it was removed. The BJP has not issued any official statement explaining the video or the deletion.
Dear hate factory @BJP4India,
