NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a notice on a plea seeking directions for the removal of a video posted by the official X handle of BJP Assam, which allegedly spreads communal disharmony and vilifies the Muslim community.
The application pointed to a video circulated on September 15, from the handle 'BJP Assam Pradesh' that purportedly depicts a “grossly false narrative” suggesting a Muslim “takeover” of Assam if the BJP doesn’t continue in power.
Issuing notice, a Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta sought responses from the BJP Assam unit and the social media platform ‘X’ and listed the matter for hearing on October 27.
