Chandigarh, Oct 23 (IANS) Punjab AAP MP Malwinder Singh Kang on Thursday condemned the circulation of a fabricated video which was deliberately created to defame and defame Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Kang told the media here that it was a “BJP-led campaign of character assassination” and warned that those behind the conspiracy would be held responsible.
He said that this video was made with the sole intention of defaming and character assassination of our beloved Chief Minister.
He said that the fake clip went viral and the biggest role in publicizing the video was played by the leaders of BJP’s national and Punjab leadership, including office-bearers and national spokespersons.
Kang named the promoter of the campaign as Jagman Samra, who lives in Canada, and said that following directions from the Mohali court, a first information report (FIR) was filed against him.
“Facebook has itself removed Jagman Samra’s account and the fake video following legal instructions,” Kang said, pointing to clear and immediate action.
Turning to the social media networks that spread the clip, the Parliament member alleged a coordinated ecosystem of accounts linked to the BJP.
He said many of these accounts, some even followed by senior BJP leaders, repeatedly promote such propaganda whenever the party wants to destroy a person’s character.
He urged Punjabis to understand that this was not an isolated act but an entire machinery trying to remove from power a leader who came from an ordinary family through hard work and honesty.
Kang warned that while everyone has the right to express opinions in politics, creating an AI-powered fake video to defame an elected chief minister crosses every limit.
He said, “The people of Punjab will respond to this conspiracy at the appropriate time. We strongly condemn this conspiracy of the BJP.”
He said, “If you try to defame our leaders with fake videos, you will not be spared; our party will take strict legal action against you.”
