Supreme Court to Hear Plea Against Communal Video by BJP Assam on Social Media

The Supreme Court announced on Friday that it will hear a plea on November 25 focused on a controversial video shared by BJP's Assam unit on social media platform X. The video reportedly portrays Muslims in a negative light, raising concerns over its potential to incite communal tensions.

The plea, presented before justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, was initially scheduled for consideration on October 28 following a notice issued by the court on October 7. However, the case was not listed for that date, prompting its rescheduling for November 25.

According to the application filed through advocate Lzafeer Ahmad, the video implies that if the BJP loses power in Assam, Muslims will take over significant areas such as tea estates and Guwahati airport. The plea argues that as a secular state, Assam's government must uphold constitutional values and urges the removal of the video to prevent communal disharmony.
