BJP MP Manoj Tiwari strongly criticized the Congressional Party on Saturday after Bihar forces posted an AI-generated video allegedly portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother Heilaven Modi.
Speaking to Annie, Tiwari said the Congress “breaks all measures of immorality” and accused the party of repeatedly ignoring ethical boundaries.
“The standards of ethics are not for Congress. They continue to break all immoral measures. Anything that happens legally happens, but the biggest judge is the masses, and the masses will teach them lessons,” he said.
The remarks came after Delhi police registered an FIR against unnamed parliamentary leaders on September 10 after sharing a controversial clip from the official X-handle of INC Bihar.
The complaint was filed by Sanket Gupta, convener of the BJP Delhi election cell. The FIR is registered in multiple sections of the 2023 Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
This controversy sparked a sharp response across the political spectrum. The BJP has accused Congress and its alliance Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of repeatedly targeting Modi and his family. Just a few days ago, an unidentified person confused Darbanga's parliament-led voter Adhikal Yatra and cast abuse on the Prime Minister and his mother.
Prime Minister Modi also clashed with the opposition parties over his comments. In recent events, he said the abuse directed at his mother was “not just for her, but for all mothers, sisters and daughters in the country.”
“Mothers are our world. Mothers are our self-esteem. I didn't even imagine what happened in this tradition-rich Bihar a few days ago. My mother was abused by the comments of the RJD in Bihar. These abuses are not humiliation to my mother.
Heeraben Modi passed away in December 2022 at the age of 100. She had never been involved in politics.
The AI-generated clip, which was marked with the “AI Generated” label and captioned “Maa appears in Sahab's Dreams,” went viral afterwards. The BJP described the video as “shameful” and accused the Congress of hitting a new low to target the Prime Minister ahead of the election in Bihar.
