Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Friday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in condemning the Congress over an AI-generated video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother, shared by the party’s Bihar unit on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In the video, PM Modi can be seen dreaming of his late mother, Heeraben Modi, who reprimands him over his politics.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Giriraj Singh said, “Seeing this today was really painful. The Congress-RJD people disrespected PM Modi's late mother. Through AI technology, they made her say 'halki baatein' and did such a lousy thing. I challenge them, what would they do if I made an AI video of Nehru and Mountbatten?”

The Union Minister referenced Mountbatten and accused Nehru of prioritising personal ties over national interests in a separate post on X. “History is witness that at decisive moments of power, Nehru remained entangled more in Edwina Mountbatten’s allure than in the nation’s interest. When India needed strong leadership, he repeatedly surrendered, bound by personal attachments. Personal relationships crushed national interests. Ensnared by Edwina’s charms, Nehru repeatedly put India’s land, identity, and future at stake,” he wrote.

What Is The Controversy?

The controversy stems from an AI-generated video showing PM Modi dreaming of his late mother, who reprimands him over his politics. The video was shared by the Congress party's Bihar unit on the social media platform X. The video drew massive criticism, with several BJP leaders accusing Congress of repeatedly insulting PM Modi’s late mother.

The latest controversy comes weeks after an unknown person allegedly hurled abusive comments against PM Modi’s mother at a Congress event in Darbhanga, Bihar. The incident sparked political uproar with the BJP launching a fierce campaign against Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and calling for a strike in Bihar over the alleged abusive comments.

“Mother is our world. Mother is our self-respect. I had not even imagined what happened a few days ago in this tradition-rich Bihar. My mother was abused by the RJD-Congress in Bihar. These abuses are not just an insult to my mother. These are insults to the mothers, sisters and daughters of the country,” PM Modi had said.
