Not only the visuals of the video in this social media post, but also the content was offensive. Phrases such as “point blank shoot”, “no mercy” and “no apology to Bangladeshis” were used. Moreover, in the video “Why didn’t you go to Pakistan?” Questions were also asked, which are believed to directly incite hatred and violence against a particular community.

As soon as the video went viral on social media, there was widespread protest. Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sagarika Ghosh termed the ad “very shameful” and demanded immediate arrest of those responsible. He tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and called for strict action.

There is also talk in political circles that such provocative videos are deliberately released to divert attention from the real issues. Several users on social media wrote that BJP’s IT cell is trying to distract people with such hateful videos when the state is suffering from serious problems like floods, unemployment and rising inflation.

Opposition leaders say such statements are a deliberate strategy to marginalize Assam’s socially and economically disadvantaged Muslims of Bengali origin, who, despite having Indian citizenship, are often labeled as “outsiders” or “illegal immigrants”.
