PATNA: The Bihar Congress ordered a probe on Friday after a controversial video mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother, Hiraben, appeared on social media.
Congress spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari said the inquiry aims to identify the creator of the video. “We have taken the matter very seriously,” he said, adding that the video was “uploaded without approval and has since been deleted”. Congress leader Pawan Khera defended it, posting on X, “Where is the disrespect shown to his late mother? She is only educating her child. If the child thinks it is disrespectful, that is his headache, not ours.”
The clip, marked “AI GENERATED,” showed a Modi lookalike preparing for bed and saying, “I’m done with today’s ‘vote chori’, let’s get a good night’s sleep now.” In a dream sequence, a character resembling his mother scolds him, asking, “How far are you willing to fall when it comes to politics?”
BJP said, “PM Shri @narendramodi’s late mother was abused from the Congress-RJD platform first. Now, a video of his mother is being made to insult her.” Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary added, “Congress has stooped to such a low that for them, no values or traditions hold any meaning. But remember, the land of Bihar never forgives those who insult a mother.”
